My dad died and my mum is re marrying

Hello, my name is Grace. I lost my dad when I was 16 in 2014 to cancer. 10 years on and my mum is getting re married. I am really struggling and it has brought back all my grief emotions. I don’t know who to talk to as I tell my mum everything but it is supposed to be a happy time for her. I feel as if I’m losing my dad all over again and I also feel alone as nobody I know can relate to these feelings.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad at such a young age, Grace. I’m glad you have found our community and hope you find it to be a support to you. You are not alone.

I’m giving your thread a gentle, “bump” - I’m sure someone will be along to share their thoughts.

I am sorry you are going through such a difficult time. Just remember no one can replace your Dad, your relationship or what you meant to each other. Just because your Mum is moving forward this doesn’t take away from what she and your Dad had when they were together. Relationships and love are not defined by a single moment or incident.

Hello Grace,

Sorry to hear that you are struggling. It can’t be easy. But hopefully it’s reassuring that your mum has someone / will be looked after. :yellow_heart:
