My Dad died in August 2003, 3 weeks after DD's 3rd birthday.
She is now 7 1/2 and still can't talk about him or look at a photo without crying.
At school yesterday, they were told to think about their saddest day (?) and she ended up sitting on the TA's knee, sobbing into her shoulder
Its not like she cries every day, but I'm worried that she still can't talk about him or look at a photo without crying.
Do you think this is something she will come to terms with as time goes on, or should I look into counselling? I try to talk about him, happy memories etc and I make sure I don't dissolve into tears when I do, as I don't her to bottle her feelings up.
