It just hit me all of the sudden, all i did was look at his bike.  The feeling of intense grief over my dad.  today has been two weeks without him. my elbows ache terribly don't know why.  when my dad went out on the road he would always try to be back for a weekend every two weeks. that is all i can write for now.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad (the last of my birth family to pass away) about 1.5 years ago. I still miss him, and wish he would call me up and invite me to lunch, or just talk about a project.

As time passes you will find your new normal. I am settling into mine, not all the way yet, but much better than I was 2 weeks out.

Gentle hugs

Big hug for you tick..... A lot of things can be a trigger.... It's surprising what some of them can be... I've found scents to be powerful
I wish the same thing Pep so often and it's always little things that come to mind nothing big or ;profound
I'm sorry that you're hurting.....xo

Thanks for the response Sun, Pep, my father was the last of my immediate family that really cared about. I have been telling people that I 'am planning a trip out west on motorcycle. I don't know maybe a good thing...

I am so sorry for your loss. Two weeks is a very short time. Grief can manifest itself in so many ways. As others mentioned many things can act as triggers. My father passed away nearly 13 years ago and the smell of the cologne he wore can still impact me. Go easy on yourself and feel the emotions as they come.
