Dear
On a Personal Note
This is one of those emails I never thought I'd have to write...
My Dad passed away on Wednesday 9 November, after an almost 6 week battle with sepsis. He was courageous throughout this difficult time in hospital. The last few
days were especially awful.
We will miss him so much, yet we feel it's Grace that he's been released from the suffering.
I was fortunate enough to be able to spend 3 weeks in South Africa and saw him every day during that time. I feel blessed to have had this precious family time -
also with my mom and sister, and special bonding time with my brother in Australia.
Please keep us in your prayers, especially my mom. They were married for 58 years earlier in October, and my dad's birthday is coming up in 10
days.
The memorial service is on Monday in Margate, South Africa.

Rest In Peace, Dad.
Thank you for all you did for us, the sacrifices, love and every single thing you did for us that we were not even aware of. Parenting is no joke and I realise this more and more as I get older.

I will of course write down more of my thoughts and experiences over time.
It's been a very busy time and it feels like I've hardly had any time to reflect or process. So in a little while, I'll start to jot down my many thoughts about this very special, sacred time... a time that we will all have to face with someone close to us passing away.
There's been many learnings, and I can tell you much
tapping. If it was not for EFT and some beach walks, I would have been beyond stressed and very unhealthy after this difficult time.
I do welcome any of your thoughts on grief, processing a loved one's death, and what's helped you if you've been there.
