My wonderful df. I miss him so so much. Really struggling with the approaching anniversary. Still feel unreal in some ways. Just so sad.

Sorry for your loss. I am in an identical position and have been waking up in the morning thinking about him more recently. Having also lost other close family members in the last few years, I have found it helps to think of these dates as an arbitrary number on a calendar invented by humans that isn’t actually fixed (think leap years, the date in reality moves around a bit over time). Otherwise I could find a reason to be extra sad at least every month.

I am the same OP. My dad died suddenly last November. We had a few family occasions last October and I keep thinking back to them and how full of life he was despite getting on in years. I've no advice, just a hug and hopefully some peace knowing you aren't alone.

@Whatevergetsyouthroughthenight @MrsAliceRichards I'm sorry you know this feeling too. A whole year without him almost 💔 . I suppose its natural that an anniversary will make you reflect, but it's just overwhelming sadness. Lots of, 'this time last year was the last time we...'thoughts. I'm rambling, but yeah. Tis shit.
