[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have to get some help processing your grief. Six years out, this is a very disproportionate response that is coming from a very childlike place. Prolonged grief is real and it needs treatment. My mom cared for her own dad as he died and she is still stuck almost 25 years later because she absolutely refuses to do the work of processing it with a professional. At ten years out, she would say things like "he died three years ago" (and that was 15 years before now--she didn't, and still doesn't, have dementia messing up her sense of time passing; it is the prolonged grief talking.) Don't do that to yourself and your relationship with your dad, which will suffer for it. [/quote]
