A Year Without Dad

Hi Essex1 

Those anniversaries can often seem extra painful but it does sound to me like you are looking back and remember all the good times. I went to a friends funeral recently and the celebrant said "grief is the price we pay for love".

Thank you for posting - from someone else who is proud of what their dad achieved - not least the man I became.

<<hugs>>

Wow, Huny, time has gone passed so quickly. I can not believe it's a year. Love to you all xx

Hi Essex1,

Weve chatted a few times before and i think we have similar time lines of losing our dads.

It'll be a year on March 29th for me for losing my dad, and I was talking to my therapist last week saying that I cant believe it's been a year since I spoke to him. It doesnt feel like a year. I cant believe how quickly it has gone, but yet, the pain of losing him is still so raw.

I keep thinking back to when he was in the hospice and it makes me feel so sad. My therapist thinks that I might have PTSD as it was such a traumatic experience.

I hope you and your family were able to share your lovely memories of your dad on his birthday and that you are all doing okay. Xx

Hi

Nice to hear from you. I wondered how you were getting on and I remember speaking last year.

Can you believe it’s been a year and soon to be year for you. We have just had the first of everything, Xmas, his birthday, the first anniversary and like you, it’s still so raw and I cry all the time, I miss him so much. I find it sad that I can now also say my Dad wasn’t here this time last year.

How are you finding therapy?
