Your post was perfect. You've shared some very inspiring thoughts and thank you for that.
I lost my father in February. It has been the most powerful experience of my life to now.
You can't go back and do things over, I guess. But, you can learn something from your experience, something very valuable is what you have reaped from your father and you will battle with yourself until you understand what that is.
My heart is with you in your journey. Remember, you have received a gift from him. And, I believe he would like you to wrap yourself in it! I feel that may have been the frustration you saw in his eyes.
You can tell him you understand, he need not be frustrated, and thank him now for this new lesson you are learning ... a good lesson, not a bad one; an enlightening gift. I believe it will give him peace to hear your understanding and gratitude; frustration relieved!
For you, I pray you give yourself a break, don't take on a lot at this time, take tender care of yourself, and consider letting those who love you here, and there, help you through this time. always, cf
