I miss my dad so much - almost a year since he's been gone

Its been close to a year and i miss him so so so much. I put up a brave front for my mum but i am so sad inside. I live my normal day to day life but have lost the sense of joy. I meditate and read up on spirituality as my coping mechanism however that doesn't lessen the pain inside. I wish i could see him again and give him a hug. I just want him to know i really love him and miss him. I know i will always miss him and the void will stay but hope the pain gets better. 

  • Hello thelostdaughter

    I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Grief is a natural process but it can be devastating. 

    It's good to hear that you've found some coping mechanisms and I wonder if you've spoken to anyone about your loss. It can often help the process to talk about things. If this is something that you'd like to explore then do have a look at the Cruse website, a charity that offers bereavement support. 

    Best wishes,
