Out of Fish....Out of Here!

My Dad was a character for sure. I'm more like him than I ever thought I would be and for that I feel blessed. This show marks the first anniversary of his passing at the young age of 88 ...just weeks shy of his 89th Birthday. I sure do miss him.

5 Stages of Grief

Denial
The first stage in this theory, denial helps us minimize the overwhelming pain of loss.

Anger
It is common to experience anger after the loss of a loved one.

Bargaining
When coping with loss, it isn't unusual to feel so desperate that you are willing to do almost anything to alleviate or minimize the pain. 

Depression
During our experience of processing grief, there comes a time when our imaginations calm down and we slowly start to look at the reality of our present situation.

Acceptance
When we come to a place of acceptance, it is not that we no longer feel the pain of loss. However, we are no longer resisting the reality of our situation, and we are not struggling to make it something different.

Don't worry because my Dad felt humor was the fruit of life and the stories I'll share will reflect that. I believe in a positive uplifting message cause thats my Dad's way!

Thank you for allowing me to finally experience the healthy part of grief.
