Frantic is so very hard. I just spent weeks there and it makes coping with anything larger than a solitary ant impossible. I felt like I was either screaming inside my head or sobbing all the time. I'm barely out and away from it now...
I understand the yellow and pink too. Only for me it was pale green and cream. I wore those colors a lot...I was looking for soothing, I guess. Now I've moved back to black. I only wore red a little this Holiday season, how sad is that?
You will get through this Dinah. Sometimes doing what is right is choosing not to do something. Or not do it RIGHT NOW. So many times people think they have to do everything when someone dies right away. Like clean out their clothes or go through old papers. It can wait. And it isn't only up to you, your brother should pitch in.
Try not to push yourself to move past your grief too quickly. Allow yourself to miss your dad. You can't earn a medal for bravery here, so go ahead and fall apart a little. I'm glad your therapist understood you.
