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.

    Hi  ,

    Reading your post really resonated with me.
    My Dad passed away in July, and my heart physically hurts when I think about him. 

    I also re-live his final weeks, almost like a reel of videos in my head. It knocks me sick and makes me so angry. 
    I want to remember all of the happy time but it is clouded by his final weeks. When I try and block them out I feel angry that I have to remember the good times. "Why do I have to remember them instead of having him here making more memories" I'd think to myself. I am the first in my friendship group to have lost a parent. 
    My grief journey so far has mostly circled around the yearning and anger stages. I am exhausted and just want my Dad to walk through the door.
