It is done!

A few blogs ago, I told about my fathers death. The other day, my sister wrote me, saying the the tombstone was put in place. Immediately I felt some relief. Finally he is resting in peace! It is about time too.

Now I can visit him whenever I want to. No more empty grave site. This chapter of my life is now closed. Now I can get some closure.

I am taking it slowly. I do not want to rush it, because I fear I will not have the closure I need.

Taking one day at a time, at the moment. So far, it is working.

It's important to take time to grieve and it will take as long as it takes. If you feel you have closure when you see your father's tombstone, that's a part of your journey. If you don't, that's a part of your journey.

I'm not surprised you're taking it slowly - in every case I've known (i.e. not cremation) in SA and in the UK, the tombstone is placed months later, nearer or over a year, but perhaps that is in part to leave time for the bereaved to adjust. I am always being reminded on CS that people do things differently in different countries.

Life moves inexorably on and your good memories will at some point overtake your sense of loss. He's at peace, it is you who is not. It will come.
