Death of a Parent, Services. 

Some of the worst parts about starting active transition just before a parent passed... Is being told to hide who you are, as to not 'steal the day'... And listening to so many strangers talking about how they see him in you.

@IrisKalmia Oh god damn it. I fucking hate that one. I did it once at a wedding to avoid causing a problem, and it felt horrible. >.< Since then I decline whenever an event comes up where I can't be myself.

@IrisKalmia In my case, the exact people who would have had a problem with it aren't comfortable with me anymore. Long story, but a lot of not goodness at the moment. :(
