I Shared The Last 17 Days Of My Dad’s Life In Pictures To Break The Silence Around Death

I've never seen these photos and it reminds me how much Diet filled a room with his presence and love. He was one of a kind and made you always feel like you were the most important person in a room of 1000's. His lessons are a reminder of how we should all behave when it comes to being the best we can be. Sure miss him.

Thanks for taking the time to write Mattie. I really appreciate the kind words. I'm glad my story could find you, and (hopefully) provide comfort as you walk your own journey. Since sharing my story, I built www.griefnarratives.com, an online platform for people to be able to share and read stories about grief and loss and (hopefully) not feel so isolated in their grief. If you feel compelled, please share a story. I believe the communal space can help people.
