4 months on since my dad died. Feel so trapped with my grief. Does anyone else feel the same?

My dad died almost 4 months ago now and I still think about him and miss him every day. I continue to re-live all the dark moments of his final weeks. Just recently though I am finding myself crying more than ever. Everything just reminds me of him such as programmes on the TV or places I go to. Does anybody else have a similar experience? I feel trapped in this grief.

    I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad and how much you’re struggling with your grief.
    Losing someone so dear can be incredibly overwhelming and it’s understandable that reminders of him bring up such strong emotions. 
    You might find this page on Coping with Grief helpful as it offers advice and support for navigating grief, which can sometimes feel as you’ve described, like being trapped.
