Hi, sorry you are dreading Father’s Day, but it’s good that you have plans for the day. I lost my Mum in January so had to manage my first Mother’s Day without her only a few weeks later. It was hard, but I tried to do a few things to honour her memory. I created a memorial tribute pot of flowers in my garden. I went out for a meal and raised a glass to her too. Best wishes xx

Hi,
I lost my mum last Dec and like Rosie I dreaded Mothers Day this year but like everything else it passes and you just have to navigate getting through it somehow. With the help of wonderful kind people who I have met on here I managed to get through it. As they say the firsts of everything are the worse. I also made a memorial table for my mum with photos flowers a heart ornament and a candle. It’s teh only thing we can do now
Try going out for the day and avoid going to places where people will be celebrating Fathers Day. A walk somewhere or go to the cinema or even sit in your car with a picnic would be lovely. I just hid from people and kept to myself all day
One day at a time
