Fathers day can be a hard day if your father isn't around or if you don't get along. These reasons can make Fathers day a difficult time of year for some people.
There are some things that you can do to help you cope:
💫Talk to a friend , family or someone you trust.
💫 Write your feelings down.
💫Or contact a counsellor like myself.
It can be hard for people who don't see their father to see the different cards/ gifts advertised. This can be upsetting and there are loads of people who experience this each year. For those people it's important for them to know that they are not alone.
The loss of someone close and dear to you is a horrible experience. It is natural to have a string reaction when they pass away. There are some people who have had their fathers pass away and fathers day can be hard for them. These people in particular could use fathers day as a way of remembering their father by :
💔 Visiting the grave & laying flowers or leave a photograph.
💔 Go somewhere you enjoyed together
💔 Do something you enjoyed together.
💔 Spend time thinking about your father or talk to others that knew him.
It is also normal to not get on with people all the time, especially your parents. If you're angry with your dad, you're arguing with him, you feel like he’s always getting at you or you just don’t get on with him, you might not really feel like celebrating Father’s Day.
You could try talking to your dad about how you feel and explain to him why he’s upsetting you. Talking to your parents is a really important step in maintaining a good relationship and making a difficult one better.
Or if that is difficult for you, you can:
💫Talk to someone about how you feel or contact KL'S Therapy and I will actively listen to your story.
