hi im really struggling just now we lost my dad suddenly 3wks ago totally out of the blue . He was a big part of all our lives my poor wee mum is totally lost without him and my sister to . Im trying to be strong to help them but on the inside i fear i am forever broken how do you move on . I have a big birthday coming up in a few weeks i dont want to do anything for it as my dads not here to join us but my mum and sister feel we should still mark it in some way as dad would have wanted that but they have left the decision upto me . I just feel the world keeps turnin but my bit is paused and it all still feels like a dream

@mkat2012 The early days of grief are especially hard so be kind to yourself. As for moving on, you never move on, you just adapt to a new normal. My Dad died in March & it’s been an ongoing process. My Birthday was just weeks after he died & like you could see no reason to celebrate but my mum made a bit of a fuss. Perhaps you could do something to remember your Dad or include him in your celebrations. My Dad’s Birthday is shared with my brother & we toasted him with his favourite Costa coffee. The world does keep turning & you’ll feel like your grief bubble is bouncing along with everyone for quite a while, best wishes to you all. I know what it’s like. Xx
