1. Introduction
This topic came about purely by coincidence. When scrolling through our Instagram page a post came up from Robin & Sonshine. The caption was Grief is…. And it was up to anyone who saw the post to sum it up in one word. The first word that came to mind was unpredictable. That is the best way to describe what we have been experiencing since our Dad passed away in March 2017. Please see the question below:

COMING SOON – Creations for the Bereaved & Grieving✨🤍
At first, this was just a question answered, with no other thought. But once we digested the question and our answer, we started thinking more. From these thoughts, we decided this could be a topic, and so here it is.
For my sister and I, it has been a literal rollercoaster of emotions and situations. It has challenged us both mentally and physically. It catches us off guard, sometimes when we very least expect it (we have a topic on Dissociation and Grief.
Both my sister and I have experienced loss before Our Dad, but what we have experienced with our Dad does not compare to any other loss we have known.
We do still detach from our feelings, we think this is probably to do with the nature in which things happened. Also, because we thought we were going to seek justice through the hospital complaint, our energy was directed towards that, all the unjust feelings were focused on pushing us forward with our complaint.
In March this year, we found out that the way in which we approached the complaint was all wrong which means we now have to find another way to get ourselves heard. It has taken us seven months to come to terms with what we learnt and find the strength within us to take this on from a different perspective.
Our Dad sadly passed away five years ago, but to us, it still feels new and unbelievable. The most random of things can trigger us and transport us right back to the raw and fresh feelings from the moment our Dad passed away (We have topics on Triggers and Grief, and Triggers Anxiety and Grief.
