Got to your blog via Glnroz. Just wanted to put in my two cents. First, I'm very sorry about your dad. And second, for me grief is either mind-numbing or overwhelming. In either case, it's always helped me to have a structured, long-term activity to keep my gears turning (during mind-numb) and to keep me grounded (during overwhelming). School is pretty much perfect for that. And, conveniently, it's structured in four month segments. So if you do go back and find that it's too much, you don't have long to stick it out before you can lay it to the side. I'll be following, and thinking of you and your family.

I'm very sorry about the loss of your dad. I was just a few years older than you when I I, too, came to your site via glnroz.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I was much older when my dad died (32) and I found that my busy life with my kids helped with the healing process. Grief sneaks up on you at inopportune times. Structure does help those difficult days go by a little easier. I think that focusing on school may help you cope a little better. If you do go back to school, take it assignment to assignment. Good luck with whatever you decision you make. God bless you and your family.

I'm very sorry that you lost your dad. Who wouldn't be pulled every which way at a time like this?Keep breathing, drink lots of water, try to get as much sleep as you need. Whatever you decide will be the right course of action. You can't go wrong. Believe me.

I am here because of glnroz, as well. He cares about your well being. Losing your father is devastating. Your confusion is totally understandable. When I lost my dad, I thought life had rearranged itself into permanent, unbearable chaos. With time, the pain went to a place where I could finally bear it. Just think about what your father would want you to do and decide from there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm here too because of glnroz. I'm so sorry for the passing of your daddy. Dealing with your loss, and having to deal with school can be overwhelming.Do what is in your heart, pray on it. Listen to it. I would stay in school. (I was a mom at 17 and uneducated) STAY in school. Dedicate this semester to him. And when you graduate, He'll be there with you.. smiling at his beautiful daughter. I wish I was there to hug you and let you know.. I maybe not know you.But I'm here because I CARE. HugZTami

I found your blog via Glnroz. My father died when I was in my last semester of an Associate Degree program. I even went to class to take exams the day after he died (my family insisted). I ended up with straight As that semester, even though it was fraught with sadness and the feeling of powerlessness, as I watched the man I loved more than anything slip away from me.My dad would have been so proud of those As.I also thought I needed time to grieve, to accept the new reality. I assumed, after a semester off, I'd go back to class.It's now 26 years later, and I still don't have that Bachelor's Degree. There is NEVER a good time to go to school once you get out of the habit.I'm not trying to tell you what to do – but I just wanted to share MY story, and know that strangers are encouraging you and supporting you in this difficult time.

Came due to Glnroz. No one can tell you what to do here….but I can tell you to take a deep breath and go down to the root of it…the place only you know, the voice only you hear, and the heart beat only you follow. Listen close, because you know the path. Trust yourself to follow that….only that. You are made of tough stuff, and loved one passing is like wind on blossoms….it happens all the time, but it's personal when they land on you. You take your time, in whatever form that means for you. School will be there, or it will wait. YOU dictate your life, so listen close. You can hear the answer, can't you?
