Longing for your past (or future)?

As I navigate this grieving season after losing my father a few weeks ago, I’ve been feeling a subtle, quiet grief from time to time. I feel “longing.” It comes in small moments throughout the day, a deep feeling about what I long for: a life where my father is still here, his smile and kindness…
