Members Lina Posted November 15, 2021 Members Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 We lost my mom in 2017, today my dad told us he has decided to start dating again. I know it is something normal and healthy but I can't help feeling angry and sad by the situation; my mom should still be here and my dad should not have to need someone new. I feel shame for not being happy that my dad is moving on but just remembering makes my stomach feel like a swallowed a rock and I can't help but cry.

Members reader Posted November 18, 2021 Members Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Dear Lina, Your feelings are completely understandable. Grief is a long journey. As a daughter it would be hard to see your dad want to move on and find love again. I know i would feel that way too. It might help to talk to a grief counsellor or join a support group to talk about your feelings. Take your time. There is no right way or wrong way to grieve. You have to honor your feelings.
