I'm very sorry for your loss. I know it's difficult, but keeping busy does help sometimes. About the ripping out, I've taken the attitude that whenever I sew anything, there will be ripping out involved. It's just part of the deal. I managed to sew incorrectly 8 times on this binding. Thank heavens I sewed the seam 9 times. Patience was the lesson of the day. Now instead of crying, I shrug my shoulders and just keep on keepin' on. You will too.

I'm also sorry about the loss of your dad. It's hard to go through. Keeping yourself busy will help you go through the grieving process. When my husband died, I just had to clean the house and get rid of everything, it's what kept me going.
Remember the good times that you had with your father, this will also help.
Keeping you in my parayers.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. My Dad passed away six years ago, it seems like yesterday, but now I can think about him laughing and smiling and not so much about the reasons that took him. We saved some of my dads favorite shirts and I am just now getting around to trying to figure out what kind of squares I want to make that can incorporate some of the fabric of his shirts. My sister made a quilt for my Mom and used some of the shirt fabic and it came out beautiful. You will find a way too to treasure your Dad's memories in special ways. It gets better and you will find that doing your favorite things will once again become a comfort for you.
