Dreading fathers day more so this year and don't know why

[Wherecanitbe]

I lost my father when I was in my early 20's , I am now in my 40's , I don't have children of my own as I have fertility problems , but I am at peace with this aspect of my life. Fathers day never normal fills me with dread, I just treat it like any other day. For some reason, this year I am absolutely dreading it, I am on my own ( this may be the crux of the matter) I keep imaging all the happy families enjoying happy days out , family meals etc.

I want to go out and do "something" but I am lacking in imagination as to what! I don't have too much spare £ so this will be a factor, I have a car so that helps, my friends will be with their families so it will be a solo trip, any suggestions please?

Anyone? Please.

Would it help to go somewhere you've got fond memories of your father, if there is such a place? It might be difficult but it might help.

What I get from your post is not someone who is at peace with it all just now, I'm always an advocate of better out than in.

I hope you find something appropriate that makes the day a bit more bearable for you.

Is there any particular place/activity/music/food which reminds you of him?

If it helps I'm in the same boat

Thank you so much for your replies, there are a few places that my dad was fond of , so I could visit, that might be a plan.
