Today, it's the five year anniversary of my father's death. I was cuddling with my boyfriend and crying about how much I missed him. He replied with, "Sometimes, I think you just like to hear yourself talk." FML

I sort of agree with #21.. i don't have any idea what she is going through, not a clue, but i think what 21 was trying to say is celebrate his life, not mourn his death forevermore

i understand that you loved your father and all, but its been 5 years. enough of this "i'm so sorry for your loss!" crap. when do you plan on moving on? 5 years is plenty of time to be able to talk about it without crying. quit being so sensitive. i know how hard it is, but you're really doing yourself an injustice by staying so held up on it.

Don't listen to him or #21. My dad died five years ago this August and i cry about him sometimes, even though i know he's in a better place. I just miss him and am sad that i lost him just before i started high school. I don't want to get over his death. He was too important to me. I like to remember all the good times, though. And 21, it doesn't say she doesn't live a normal day.

you're hung up on your dad if you won't get over it. grow up and live because your dad doesn't want you moping around. my parents were murdered 2 years ago but Im not a pussy I live the way that they'd be proud of

#315 I'm sorry to hear about that, but holy ****, you are an asshole. People grieve in different ways and different amounts of time. It doesn't matter if t's 1, 5 or 10 years, as long as it helps the person get through it. Don't insult others for grieving.

“As much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it. And the very act of living is a tide: at first it seems to make no difference at all, and then one day you look down and see how much pain has eroded” – Jodi Picoult
