Missing my dad a lot today on his birthday

[friendly34]

my grief feels so strong. I woke up crying at 4am and feel

terrible right now.

Grief sometimes hits you like a sledgehammer

I feel so sad today. he died a couple of years ago. other years have felt easier. today feels awful.

Hello, id like to give my condolences, I know hearing that can sometimes make things feel worse, there really nothing to comfort the loss of someone in our life who’s passed on. But it’s also not bad to allow yourself that time to grieve or feel sad no matter how many years have pass. I think it’s very natural to have days where that person comes to mind and we miss them like crazy. So allow yourself the time to experience that sadness. It may even help to try to reach out to friends or loved ones so you have someone to grieve with who can relate to that feeling of missing that same person.

thank you. Actually, what makes it worse is when people ignore grief. almost like they don’t want to disturb you. so they say nothing.

I really appreciate you commenting and wishing me well. thank you x

It is tough mortality, the loss is just overwhelming, I feel for you today.

I say to myself when the tears flow and the feeling of loss is so great, thank you for being in my memory, thankyou for letting me feel the love and times we had together, if I really think and focus I feel they are in my life guiding me, best wishes.

My thoughts are with you.. Sunday will be 5 years since my dad passed and it's been 35 years since my mom has been gone. Most days are ok just remembering the wonderful memories but there are times I sit and cry. Allow the grief to come and let it out. Your dad will always be in your heart. May the memories of him be a blessing to you.
