I keep coming back to this post. I also keep thinking about what curious said.. forgive the person, not the act. Seperating the act from Dad is proving to be difficult. But I will keep trying. I want nothing more than to grieve the man he was, without all the emotional hell of his suicide clouding and complicating my grief.

For survivors, suicide doesn’t just shatter the present and short-circuit the future. It blows up the shared past. These memoirs try, with agonizing honesty, to reclaim that lost ground.

I hate it when people say time heals all wounds, you need more time. What I needed was more time with Dad!! *sigh. It isn't the time that heals... it is the time we spend trying to heal that makes the pain more bearable.
