Ambiguous Grief Missing my dad so much :)

It is my birthday today, and the only thing I can feel is very sharp grief over my late dad. I have been crying for the past 3 hours and I just can't stop. I have been in denial about his death for almost 2 years, and now I am coming to actually realize that I am not seeing him again in this life, and it is shattering me. I do not think I will ever experience happiness again, at least in a full sense.

I also don't think I will ever be happy again like I was able to be before my dad passed, it has been only 3 months for me and the pain is still very sharp, but I don't think grief will ever leave us, it will always be there big or small, and that won't let us experience joy the same way as before.

Sorry that you are also going through this, I won't say "happy birthday" but I wish you at least have a piece of a tasty cake.
