It’s been 5 weeks since my dad passed away and I am still sad. This has been a time of figuring things out in this new normal. Knowing he is not here is tough. I am trying to find moments of joy where I can laugh and enjoy life. Tomorrow we are going to visit his grave for the first time and I have an idea of how I will feel and react but it could be something different. Let’s see how things go.

Hello Friend,
I am so sorry about your loss. It is more than okay to be sad. This type of healing takes time especially since you knew him your entire life. Keep finding those moments of joy. I hope your visit goes well tomorrow.

Prayers for a visit that will be undeniably difficult and sad. Perhaps sharing memories with others that he loved and was loved by, will help alleviate the grief.

I miss his voice and so wish we could have a family meal. He’s supposed to be here.

It is tough. My father passed less than a year. Grief has no Timeline. Do what is best for you.

I thought of that as being so cliche but realize its a survival mechanism.

I am going through a phase where I am angry because he should be with us. It could also be a sadness.

I lost my dad last year too, November.. so kinda can relate. We visit him at family mausoleum but I really don’t feel he is there. Good luck to you, times like these I guess no words can really ever make us feel better.
