My dad died almost a year ago when dd was 8 weeks. I'm not sure I have fully processed it and gone through the normal stages of grief as in the past year I have had extremely poor sleep and have moved house twice and there hasn't really been emotional room for me to process my dad's death. My mum and sister have gone through more 'normal' grief and I feel guilty I have had more of a numb reaction. Now we are coming up to the one year anniversary and my dd is sleeping better and we are settled in a new home I have started to feel a bit depressed when in theory things should be looking up. I wonder if the stresses of a small baby have caused me to postpone the grief period. I wonder if anyone else has gone through a bereavement when consumed with early parenthood and when it hit you.
