Oh Vincent......I can't write any words which could possibly help. I am sending you a hug and I hope your heart will find a way to heal after this huge loss. 🤗🤗🤗
I hope time will help you heal. I have no idea how it is to lose someone very dear to me as I grew up with an absent father. What I know it can help in times of grief, despair and sadness is nature. I managed to feel better since I started to increase my time spent outdoors.
Must be rough to grow up with an absent father too, eventhough you might not have known how it is to actually have a father so I don't know how much it feels like a miss. My father was often 'absent' too, in a way ( but mainly due to depression, mental health issues ), at the same time he was always there.
More time spent outdoors is always a good thing. As you can read in my previous post ( yesterday ), I made my way to a more natural area, where I can be alone, most of the time and heal and write. It seems to be working already. My next step will be a trip back to Portugal and then, a little later, likely a trip to another country and or continent.
Yes it was rough as it influenced a lot of my emotional wellbeing and patterns. But I am on my path to healing.
I wish you well Vincent, sending you a hug 🤗
Oh Vincent. This little post says volumes. Extending my heartfelt love to wrap around you as you process the passing of your father. I'm glad the family were altogether and you had the chance to say your goodbyes. All the birds here in Australia are singing - may the beauty of that find you and your family somehow.
Exhausting for multiple reasons. I have hardly had any time for myself in two months now and itś fair to say that the contrast with my usual life in the Portuguese countryside is immense. I need a vacation when all of this is over.
Your dad had the greatest word jokes and I loved them. I also love the ones you and me had when we laughed together. Since I met everyone except for your twin sister and love your family, I know that the beauty of what both your parents passed on to you and your siblings lives on. Also in your parents grand children, your nieces and nephews. I know nothing ever dies. Not the ephemeral moments we learn to appreciate, when we realise they forever live in our hearts and the echoes of joy and laughter of images and frames entangled in the space they created.
Oh Vincent, I am so sorry to read this.
He is at peace now, but you and your family now have to grieve and that is not easy my friend. I know you have so much love for him and vice versa, that is why it will hurt. That pain is a testament to the love you have for one another.
I am sending you the biggest of hugs and so much love. I am here for you my friend xxxxx
I’m very Sorry for your lost. He is peace now. I know about your feelings because I always missing my dad and my mom. Sending love and hug 🫂 from our family, my friend.
Geez, there are never comforting words in a time like this. I have never lost a parent, so I can only imagine what you're dealing with brother. I'm not sure if he was ill leading up to this, or it came by surprise, but I know you were recently back home visiting, so I hope you were able to spend some together. Sorry for your loss Vincent 🙏🙏🙏.

Thank you. Australian bird sounds are more than welcome.
I am very sorry for your loss Vincent. May he happily chirp away in that birdhouse in the sky.
Cheers. I am sure he is chirping happily someplace.
Aw sorry mate. I know the pain you are feeling. My deepest sympathies are with you mate
Cheers mate.
No worries man, I hope you are doing ok as can be
I guess I do, aside from being exhausted. The cremation takes place on Thursday.
It is exhausting. There is some respite after the funeral/cremation I found. It all takes time though
Exhausting for multiple reasons. I have hardly had any time for myself in two months now and itś fair to say that the contrast with my usual life in the Portuguese countryside is immense. I need a vacation when all of this is over.
But I agree about the time aspect :>)
Thank you.

Sorry for your loss mate and thoughts with your family.

I was able to spend plenty of time with him. He was ill for many years and lung fibrosis was impossible to beat.
Thanks my friend.
