On Saturday, September 12, 2026, my father passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. My partner and I both skipped a week of work, and my son missed school to be with me in Spokane, Washington, where my father's remaining family resides.

 The grief is so heavy to carry. It's hard for me to ask for help, but if anyone could spare a little, I'd appreciate it.
