I am 27 years old, my dad died January 27, 2010 due to a major stroke
in his brain stem. It was very sudden and unexpected, he was only 57.
The doctors told us he would make a sixty to ninety percent recovery,
but then they didn't realize where the stroke actually happened and the
affects it had on his system. I believe I am still in shock over this.
I am a part time funeral director and am in grad school part time
working on my masters in social work. It was a blessing to help my
family help make the difficult decisions during the funeral
arrangements, but it was like I was numb and it wasn't my dad's funeral
who I was planning. Just a very strange/surreal experience. Hopefully by blogging about my dad's death it will help me deal with my grief and give me an outlet to express myself. love you always Freddy, three weeks to the day, hope you are enjoying your journey!
