First birthday without dad

[Thisisus4]

It's my first birthday without him this week. I'm literally mid-30s and it feels too young not to have him here. I feel I ought to mark the occasion but I'm not exactly in the mood as it's only been 3 months since he passed and I very much have good and bad days or just numb days. Any ideas as to how to make the day special without spiralling would be appreciated.

My condolences. It must be a very difficult time.

Looking at old photos of you and him might feel too sad?
Is there some activity that you both liked to do, that you could do on the day? Or you could eat some special food that both liked.

I like to light a candle to remember the persons I have lost (but I know that is not for everyone).

I am sending you all my best wishes!

When my dad died, I got through the firsts by telling myself it’s just another day and they did pass over like any other.

I’ve just lost my mam last week so will have to be telling myself the same.

So sorry for your loss x
