    What's wrong with having a good cry if that's what you need? It might help?

    You're not needy at all - just feeling sad, with perfectly good reason. ?

    Aww Cariad ???

    If you need to cry then cry, It does usually help ?

    I still cry daily for my Nan who died nearly 2 years ago, someone I work with pointed out that I should be past that stage by now ☹️!]

    You are not needy either?

    Edited as I cannot spell this morning [:I]

    There's nothing wrong with having a good cry if that's what you want to do.

    I always make sure I light a candle for my Dad on the anniversary of the day he died. I invariably end up having a good cry too, but it would feel wrong if I didn't. I lost my Dad 7 years ago. ?

    Cariad, it was the 10 years of my dad this year too back in Feb.

    Of course it will hurt, I think you need to let it out and have a good cry, I certainly did I felt awful for about 2 weeks.

    ? for you....I don't have any words of comfort I am sorry, but don't feel bad you are still grieving. I have learnt this is natural.

    Cariad - this year it will be 30 years since my daddy died ? i think about him every day, talk about him most days and still get upset that he didn't see me grow up, didn't meet any of his grandchildren and didn't get to grow old with my mum ?

    I buy my mum flowers when it is dads birthday, their wedding anniversary and the anniversary of his death.

    Reckon i will always miss him and wish he was here ?

    How very strange - on the way to work I was thinking about my dad. He died 16 years ago now so he's now been dead for the same period in my life that he was alive and it feels so, so wrong. I have found that it has got easier but the silly little things, as well as the huge moments in your life, that can really get to you. If you want to cry then the best thing is to cry, you have to deal with the grief and bottling it up will always make it worse.

    I tend to block out moments of importance (the day he died, his birthday) because I do find it hard to deal with.

    Group ? for everyone that's lost someone special.

    Well I still cry sometimes about my grannie, and she died nearly 20 years ago, so I don't think you're being needy at all.

    ? have a good sob if it helps a little bit.

    No that's not needy my lovely, it's entirely understandable. My Mum still cries for her Dad once in a while and he's been dead for 20 years. It's still a loss and whilst time does heal, it can't bring that person back so there will always be moments when you feel upset.

    You have a good cry if you want to, it's the most natural thing in the world.??

    Cariad you are not needy. You are a person who clearly cared for your father very much. It's 14 years since my dad died and I miss him every day. It's worse at the moment because I get married in 2 months and he should be here to share the day.

    I bore people talking about him to much, but he was my dad and I love him.

    Have a very inadequate?

    I get really sad when i think of all the things my dad has missed out on... he was only 47 when he died and had been ill for 4+ years before... so many of my early memories are of him being ill ?

    I feel so sad for my mum - she never met anyone else - and so she is getting old alone ?

    gah - welling up here now [:I] have a cry for me too cariad - i will when i have collected victoria from nursery [:I]

    Cariad, you're not being needy in the slightest. It will be the 1 year anniversary of my dad's death on the 30th of this month and I am dreading it.

    I have come to the conclusion that I don't think it is something I will ever really get over, I think it is just something I will learn to live with and from reading the replies to your thread, it sounds as though most people feel the same way.

    I think about my dad every day and I still cry at the oddest times and I am still very, very angry at the cancer for taking him away from us.

    You can't help how you feel and if having a good cry makes you feel better then go for it.

    Annabel.

    ? cariad.

    My dad died 17 years ago and I find it unbelievable to think he's been gone that long, he has missed so much of my life.

    Some days are just so difficult, I'm welling up just thinking about you ?.

    Take care of yourself and a ? for everyone else going through this too.

    I think Annabel has got it right. You'll never get over it but you learn to live with it most of the time.

    ? to all of you who have lost someone close

    ? to Cariad. TBH I still cry about my dad sometimes, and it's been 28 years. And even today I was in Woollies of all places and welled up because it reminded me of my mum. It's shit sometimes, isn't it?
