I know how that feels. My dad died around this time of year too, though it's been a while. I spent last night crying about it for the first time in a long time. It's hard and there's no linear path for grieving, it just happens and you have to allow yourself to feel whatever it makes you feel. It'll never go away, but you'll get stronger and be able to carry that weight with less strain as time goes by. Grief is love and a billion other complicated emotions with no place to go anymore. Just remember not to be too hard on yourself and do the little things that make you feel better.
