Difficult because of the pain it unleashes. Liberating because it allows you to release the grief which may help you find a sense of peace.

I see him in my girls, especially Cerys - she has his smile. I wrote about it once here - http://www.cupofteaandablog.com/2012/02/granddad-john.html<br />Writing is such a cathartic process, it helped me to write about my Dad. I hope it helped you too. Tears are good, they heel. The pain doesn't go away - you just learn to live with it.

"I am heartbroken that he will never meet my family, and my children will never know their true grandfather. He would have adored them." this sums up why I am almost more sad now than i was many years ago. I love that my girls mention him and ask questions. I have a few photos up and talk more about him now than i did for dozens of years before.
