It’s my birthday today. The first one without my dear dad. Just feel so down wish he was here to celebrate it with me. I just don’t feel like doing anything today. I miss him so much.
Hi. My dad died last year and I had my first birthday without him last November. I completely get it. I somehow didn’t feel like it was my birthday, like something was missing because I hadn’t gotten a birthday call from dad.
Be kind to yourself. If you don’t feel like doing anything today, that’s okay. Take care of yourself with what feels good: a walk outside, some nice food, a light-hearted film… The love is still there, even if your dad isn’t here to share it directly with you <3
Hi rktor. Thanks for your reply. I’m really struggling. Yesterday I just had a quiet day. Went for a meal with my friend and had a few drinks. It just wasn’t the same without my dad. I just felt so sad all day. I lost my dad at the end of march and can’t seem to get my life back on track. Been off work since and just feel like I can’t go back. I still don’t feel strong enough and don’t want to face people. At the moment I’m just in my own world. Take care rktor.
