Good Morning,
A few days ago, I posted about my dad dying and having his funeral to attend. I wrote to you all about my place (or lack thereof) in my family of origin and how I am struggling with how to practice self-preservation while still properly honoring my dad. The funeral is this afternoon. I can only hope that I get through it without feeling like I need to call an Uber and fly home to GA in the middle of it.
What do you do when you considering severing your relationship with your family of origin, but you don't have any true support to take its place? I'm not a religious person so going to a member of the clergy wouldn't be an option. I wish I had faith in God, but I just don't right now. I couldn't imagine a God knowing the swirling feelings of pain and loneliness that go through my head and not intervening.
I know that the right thing to do is figure out a way to honor my dad. I really wish that I knew how I could fill up the hole should I decide that my family of origin is just too painful a bunch for me to have anything to do with.
