Hi everyone. I lost my dad 3 weeks ago and buried him on Monday. He was my world as the only daughter we had a special bond. The thing is I feel I’m stuck! I have been with my mum since he passed as she is disabled and has carers. I do have 2 brothers but they have family. I feel I haven’t grieved for dad yet but I don’t know how(sounds stupid) I have a cry for a couple of mins . I just don’t know how to do it. People say I need my time but I feel guilty when I’m not with mum.
