The only time i can cry for him is when i'm alone driving as i don't want to upset my children. I bet the dry cleaner wonders why my eyes are always red and moist!(and red runny nose) I sure hope the loss gets easier to bear because i am still a weepy basket case! I know if my dad can come back to ease my pain he will. |
it will get easier, believe me. When I lost my mother in law I was cleaning out her clothes etc so my father in law wouldn't have to do it. I would pick up something that she wore that I loved to see her in, and I would break down crying. It took a long time, but eventually I could smile at the memories.
To this day I can't watch "An Affair To Remember" without crying. That movie was on the TV when my father in law took his last breath.
But I can look through photos of both of them and smile at the memories now instead of getting weepy.
When Penni, my first Yorkie passed away at 15.1/2 I couldn't look at her portrait which hangs over the fireplace without crying.
Now, I look at it and even "talk to her" sometimes.
Soon you will be able to remember your father without getting weepy. Just takes time. Grieving periods are different for everyone. But just remember your father wouldn't want you to mourn him too long, he would want you to be happy. And remember, he is in a far better place
