The Beginning

This grief walk started ,intensely started, in the summer of 2002. My mother spent 5 weeks laying in one hospital waiting to go to another for a heart operation. Throughout that long summer I spent time between houses and hospital,with my dad and my nieces as well as tending to my own family.One day while at my parents house preparing for my niece's birthday, I noticed that dad looked really grey. He had gone out to work at the wood and shortly came back in. When I mentioned that he should see a Doctor, he said he would as soon as mom was back home. By September mom had survived her heart operation and come back home. In October dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. Jan.20th,2003 dad died and so began the many losses in our family.
