Feeling guilty and selfish

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.

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.
