I hope you feel better for having a good cry, it’s such a healthy thing to do. We’ll probably never stop the waves but sometimes they help us think about them and celebrate them through our tears. Sending you love and comfort as you navigate todays wave and hope tomorrow brings a gentler day 
Its been almost 4 months since I lost my dad. Some days it hits me again and again and all i can do is cry -about everything. My husband thinks ive lost it and thinks i should be over it by now. He doesnt understand why im like this.

I am sure a lot of people think this about me. I cry every day at some point. I’m sure people think I should be over it but he was my dad for 58 years - it’s a massive loss

Today I am 9 weeks in and while I’ve been starting to feel pretty ok over the past couple of weeks, I still have those moments when I just cry uncontrollably, soemtimes only one a day other times a lot more - however I know that that is going to continue to happen for some time and that its a natural way to start to heal - the grief will never go away but I’ll be able to start living with it and through that will eventually become alive again.
I’ll not sugar coat it though as over the next few months and possibly longer you will most probably experience quite a few intense periods of uncontrollable crying - dont be afraid of it when it happens , go with it - not saying enjoy it but remember if you didnt love the person you are grieving for you wouldnt be crying so much, so every time you cry you display the love you still have for them, a love that you will carry with you forever which means that while the crying may well lessen there will be times when you just cant help it. Dont forget to take care of yourself though.

You’ll never be over it you’ll just feel it and show it differently every day. I think it’s hard for people who haven’t experienced it to appreciate the impact it has but for any of us who have we’ll always know the scars people have and how’s it might have shaped them. It has to make us kinder more empathetic people. Sending you love x x x
