Loosing a father can be one of the most toughest losses an individual encounters. This is because our fathers are seen in most cases as the leader of the family and the person who creates stability and security for our family. Losing a father can leave a hole in our hearts that can never be truly filled. We often find ourselves missing their guidance, their love, and their presence in our lives. And as we navigate through life without them, we may feel lost and unsure of ourselves.
But even though our fathers may no longer be physically with us, their memories and the lessons they taught us will always remain. We can honour their legacy by living our lives in a way that would make them proud, by carrying on their values and traditions, and by cherishing the time we had with them.
Fathers day and Mothers day are really difficult days for so many people, especially those who have lost their parents young. The world we live in today loves to capitalise on these days but for some of us it brings up feelings of sadness and longing, even jealousy. These feelings are completely normal and justifiable.
It's important to remember that it's okay to grieve and to feel the pain of our loss. In today's society, we'r constantly bombarded with social media and a steady stream of information through our phones, computers, and TVs. This can become overwhelming, especially during occasions like Father's Day when you may have lost your father. If you find Father's Day difficult to cope with, it might be beneficial to take a break from social media in the days leading up to the holiday and on the day itself. You may also want to avoid restaurants and pubs on Father's Day, as it could help make the day a little easier for you. It's unfortunate that you have to take these measures, but prioritising your mental well-being is important.
If you have siblings, it might be beneficial to spend the day together, reflecting on the cherished memories you all have with your father and it may be a nice idea to still use the day to honour him. This special holiday falls in the month of June, when the weather is delightful, presenting an opportunity for a pleasant stroll and then maybe you could cook your fathers favourite meal. Alternatively, if this day is too painful you could embrace some non guilty self-indulgence you time and do something entirely for yourself. Lets face it if you cant be selfish on this day after loosing your father when can you be.
