Hi @Mrbyrne1997,
Thank you for having the courage to reach out. I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad back in 2018. It sounds like you’ve been carrying a lot of emotions for a long time, and that certain things can bring back difficult memories. Please know that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and it can continue to come in waves even years after someone has died. Many people on the community will relate to having both good and bad days, and having triggers that bring lots of memories back.
