First meditation after over a month.

My father passed away a little over two weeks ago.

Is there anything special I could do?

So there's nothing you can do for your father.

However,

There are things you can do for yourself.

If you are still grieving,

Then there are things you can do to dissipate that grief.

And if you still miss him,

There are ways to kind of deal with that missing.

And if you still have thoughts about your relationship,

There are ways to dissolve that to deal with it.

So there's nothing you can do once again for your father.

However,

There are things that you can do for yourself.

But the nature of the thing you can do for yourself really depends on the challenges you're facing with the loss of your dad.

Because if you are grieving,

Because if you are grieving,

You're overly sad over the passing of your dad,

That's not his problem,

That's your problem.

So you gotta solve your own problems.
