Let It Out

When my dad passed away, I was 7 months pregnant with Hillary. At the funeral someone said to me "BE STRONG". So I bought into that concept... and 1 month later my husband of 11 years walked in and told me he "JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BE MARRIED ANYMORE". He left and one month later I drove myself to the hospital to have Hillary. I kept "Being Strong" for about 4 years and then I started having panic attacks...because I never experienced my feelings about the death and the walk out! BE STRONG was bad advice...cry and feel sad, experience the loss fully, would have been better advice.
