Feeling lost this week. It's been 13 months since my dad died. I can handle most of the feelings and grief pretty easily. But this week its hitting me hard. Seeing all the fathers day commercials and adds on tv are making me miss my dad even more. I thought i was done with this feelings, but its still hurting alot :(

Mouse30,

People grieve in different ways and it sounds to me that the shock is starting to wear off on you and you're starting to getting little waves of emotions as time goes by.

13 months is still very early, and grief does not have a time limit.

You're missing your dad, you will always miss him even to the day you die. The pain will never go away, but it does get better or shall I say...we find better ways to deal with it.

I understand, I just lost my dad on may 9th and I really thought I was okay with father's day coming but on Sunday I think I cried the majority of the day. The other part was a mixture of anger and feeling alone. I wanted to be strong but this is the most difficult time of my life. Some days I don't even want to get out of bed

I can totally understand how you must be feeling. I lost my mom this month. Without my mom, I feel lost too. No better way to describe it :( I hope time will help you to feel a little better. I've heard that what time does is smooth over the sharp edges of grief. The grief will always be there, but it will get a little easier to bear. I'm praying it will be true ...
