I wrote this book for my dad. Miss you, dad🖤

#hardlaunch #lemon8challenge #letschat I am very proud of this book. I’ve always written since I was young but when my dad passed away, it devastated me. It tore my family apart. I started writing again. I spent every single day writing poems trying to get some kind of closure. This book is for him and for anybody else experiencing grief that they just can’t get over. I may be broken, but I’m here. This book means everything to me. Thank you everybody for your support. Xo🖤

... Read moreLosing a loved one is an indescribable pain, especially when that person is a parent. Many individuals turn to creative outlets, like writing, to process their emotions and commemorate those they lost. In this poignant article, the author expresses their deep connection to their father through heartfelt poetry and storytelling. This literary tribute not only serves as a personal reflection but also aims to provide solace to others grappling with similar feelings of grief and loss. Poetry can be particularly therapeutic, allowing for the exploration of complicated emotions that linger long after a person's passing. The act of writing becomes a cathartic release—an essential step for many in finding closure. Notably, pieces such as 'My Father's Daughter' resonate deeply as they address the transformative impact of loss on identity and emotional well-being. The phrases within their poems capture the raw essence of sorrow and love, reminding readers that they are not alone in their struggles. Throughout this journey, the author emphasizes the importance of community support and sharing experiences. By opening up about their grief, they not only honor their dad's memory but also inspire others to do the same. Engaging discussions and shared stories can foster healing and connection in times of sorrow. If you or someone you know is dealing with grief, consider exploring writing as a method of expression. It may lead to unexpected healing and a deeper understanding of your emotions. This book is a testament to the bond between a father and child, serving as a reminder of enduring love and resilience in the face of loss.

I decided write the book I wish my dad had
Some things come full circle. As a young girl, I vividly remember my dad reading passages from these books while making avena (oatmeal) for breakfast. As an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, he had to work hard, earn money, and raise his small family in San Diego, CA, far from home and family.
