One thing after another.

As many of you know I lost my Dad in May, meaning that I would have to deal with my first father's day without him, and now we're in July which also happens to be the month he was born, he would've been 48. In September is my sister's birthday, and mine will be 17th December and then we have Christmas and New Year without him too. It just seems like one thing after another and I feel like I'm not even going to have time to sit down and actually comprehend what's actually happened. I don't feel normal, I don't feel like I've cried like other people have, what's wrong with me? Did he really prepare me that well that I'm maybe ok with him not being here or am I just completely avoiding the whole subject and choosing to not feel these emotions. I'm frightened for when it will actually hit me, or will it ever?

  • Amy,

    Max is right - there's nothing wrong with you.
    We are all different and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. When my Mum died, I just felt like a massive burden had been lifted and she could finally be at peace after fighting cancer for so many hard years. I hardly cried at all then and haven't cried once since I was diagnosed myself.

    That said - I cried like a baby when my last dog died - he was very old and poorly but the last trip to the vets was very emotional.

    Hang in there - time doesn't heal but it does make things easier to bear and the good memories will eventually take over.

    Good luck
