On March 31, 2020, My Dad died from COVID-19. Losing a parent is the hardest life experience I’ve ever had, and the experience doesn’t end after a few weeks of grieving. I grieve every day, in many different ways, at many different levels of intensity.

For those grieving, I see you. I hope you can find unique ways to bring your loved one into your daily life. Know that you never have to “get over it.” Grief is chronic pain. The best we can do is learn ways to live with that pain.

Dad, I miss you.
