This year Father's Day will be hard for me . It will be the first Father's Day with out my dad . He passed away in Oct. I try not to think about it to much but every were I look on face book there are people all excited about spending the day with their father's . I know I should not be sad about it because my father is in heaven and I would not want to wish him back here but I still miss him so much . I offered to work the nuscery at church so I would not have to set in the Father's Day services to make it easier on me . I just don't want all of this to cause me to go into a depression all because I can not handle all of this what should be a happy day .

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Anniversaries can be so hard. Please be kind to yourself, everything you are feeling is normal. My Dad died close to Father's Day and I am missing him, too. I feel like crying and probably will. It's okay.

In The Secret Place
LovenGod I think how your feeling is normal and that you shouldn't place any expectations on yourself. If you want to have yourself some good cries, you should do that and know that God bottles up every tear. In missing your father, may many wonderful memories of your father flood your heart and put a smile on your face and your family members. While I know there are many who are going to celebrate Father's day, there are just as many who are going to have a tough time for a variety of reasons. May you all experience God's loving embrace. God bless you dear heart.

I love Jesus and kittycats
I know how you feel as this will be the first Father's Day I will spend without my Dad too. Mine passed away last August and although he was 84 years old it was a real shock as I'd been joking with him only 2 days previously.
I miss buying him a present. I also think of him more now the World Cup is on as he used to watch that as he liked football (soccer to our US friends). Still at least we know we will both see our Dads again one day.

Thank you everyone for your words of comfort . I will see him again that is for sure but until the the pain of missing him is still so fresh . I pray as the years go by that with each new year I will see him with God and know he is healthy and happy once again . But for now my heart still hurts as if it were yesterday .
