Its nearly 2 years since my Dad died. I try to be positive but hes on my mind a lot at the moment. I havent really grieved, and its only now that im starting to come to terms with whats happenned. Im keeping everyhting bottled up inside cos i dont know who to talk to. After he died i had loads of friends supporting me, but im scared they'll think im maing a big deal out of things if i spoke out now. I just feel so alone and dont know who to turn to. any advice anyone? x

Hi
I know kinda how you're feeling- my mum died a bit over 3 yrs ago from cancer and today out of the blue I missed her loads and felt very sad. At the time I also didn't really grieve but I have tried to since- i think it's really important to let your feelings out, maybe write a letter to your dad (I did that to my mum today) and speaking to friends too sounds a good plan, or perhaps a counsellor if that would be easier for you. And also I have found the best counsellor of all to be our Counsellor in the sky- I really mean it, talking to God SO works.. lots of love to you xxx
