Oh ☹ I lost my Dad when I was young, and still miss him.

And all this at the suckiest time of the year.

Best thoughts as you go through this.

**Bosda,** I am so sorry to read this. Having just lost my Dad less than a month ago, and having watched him suffer the last month of his life, I can empathize.

The whole having to work because the leave is being sucked up, being worried about your Dad, exhaustion, guilt because you feel like you need to be there, but can’t always be there, stress; all of it just wears a body down. Please take care of yourself as well.

I hope you can find some peace and strength.

My codolences. I lost my father in the month of April but after he’d had an aneurysm just after Thanksgiving. I know how weird the holiday season must be feeling for you right now.
