For just a minute, maybe my fantasy might help?
Since I lost my dad to Covid, I've transitioned into brief moments when I imagine a fantasy of him in a heavenly & happy place.
However silly, maybe this might help someone here who lost a loved one??? In this happy place where mind and body are perfect, and new and old favorite friends are beside you, there is a major buzz. Everyone is talking about the BIG news that someone really important is coming soon. And lo and behold, as they all wait and watch... It's Queen Elizabeth! I just picture the excitement! I picture everyone trying to act cool. I picture my dad trying to curtsy. Brings a smile to my face.

1. Fantasies are fine.
I think as long as we know they are fantasies, we are ok.
I do this in other ways. I often fantasize how my life might have been different. I’m not unhappy with my life. It’s just I wish i could start over and do things better. |

2. I think that's a lovely dream
If it helps you remember your Dad with a smile, that's the best part.

3. Nice idea. I have small pictures of Dad in every room of my house, so
turn my head and see and remember.

4. When my boyfriend died it was the same week as the death of Peter Jennings and Richard Pryor
I used to imagine them all together in heaven’s Green room cracking jokes and discussing politics
