Self Acceptance

All day thoughts of my father have been drifting in and out of my mind. It’s All Soul’s Day, in the Catholic Church, and when I went to mass this morning, we prayed for those who had died. My father has only been dead for six months, and I really miss him. How can I bring comfort to my loss?

In my notebook, I write, there’s no pressure to be anywhere with this…It’s okay to be missing someone, to be missing something.

Self acceptance always provides comfort.
It brings ease
and the ease brings freedom to feel
and feeling brings acceptance
and acceptance brings comfort.
