I am sorry for your loss.
I don't think you ever really do "get over it," but in time the pain lessens.
Grieving is a process.

24How does one cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a parent?
by My Name is of No Consequence inmy dad died of a blood clot as a result of surgery late last year.
to say that his death created a bottomless void in our family is an understatement.
i think about him every day, sometimes constantly.

chasing me for a report
by Phoebe ini'm fairly new on here and i've told a lot of my story but to recap, after 60 odd years i've stopped going to the meetings.
my husband had already left the truth years ago and my children didn't become jws.(phew!).
i had a horrendous childhood growing up as a witness which included sexual assault by a close relative, also a jw.

Phoebe, you've gotten a lot of great support and advice, so far so I'll just cut to the chase in regards to how to respond to the elder that is harassing you.
Tell that wimpy elder to grow a spine (or maybe a pair) and get off your back. HIS problem is not YOURS.

It's so sad, and pathetic really l, that people will show more loyalty to an imaginary being represented by--quite frankly--seven fairly inept losers than their own flesh and blood.
It's a form of induced mental illness. It's insanity really.

The Writers Curse
by Coded Logic ini've begun to suspect this act - this will - this compulsory muse which i call "writing" is, in fact, the illusion of catharsis.
like a mirage shimmering far off on the horizon i gaze upon the unreachable waters of a quiescent mind.
and far too often i've trekked through these shifting sands of unrefined ideas and abrasive conclusions towards that placid falsehood.

Tell the elders in their KH they are spreading apostate lies.
