10 weeks with DC2, 1st anniversary of my dad's death tomorrow

[MorgansMummy24]

Hi, my dad passed away tragically a year ago tomorrow through suicide, just wanting some ideas for something nice to do in honour of his memory, my little boy is 6 this year and misses his Grandpa and I am so sad that my dear Dad won't get to meet his 2nd grandchild.

My sympathies to you. Anniversaries are hard. They get easier in a way as you get used to it, but never get over it imo.

It is my dads anniversary soon, and he never met my youngest either. It breaks my heart when I think of that.

I always visit his grave on the day, but I think releasing a helium balloon would be a nice way to get the children involved in something symbolic. I might do that this year as I have often thought about it.

Hiya,

I remember us talking the other day about this a little. It must be really hard with the anniversary coming up. I agree with lemon, releasing a balloon would be a lovely way to include your ds in the day :) I will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Hi MorgansMummy, I can completely sympathise with you, I too lost my dear dad suddenly a year ago on the 7th. My DD was only coming up to being 1 and will now sadly never know her granddad. I too am pg with DC2 and saddened that he'll never even get to meet this grandchild. It's so hard.

I echo what others have said, releasing a balloon with your DS sounds lovely. Or you could make something together to bring to his grave.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts, we are going with the balloon idea as my DS finds that exciting, my dear partner also bought me a lovely gift, trying to make it a positive day and remembering good times with my dad
