Is it normal to get sad around my birthday when I miss my dad? he passed

Question

Is it normal to get sad around my birthday when I miss my dad? he passed in 2017. 
Everyday when I have time alone I just sit there and cry I stare at a print out of his. I think about going through the darkest forest at night. It’s raining in my city so it’s making me miss him more. He was alive once in front of me and now he’s in the ground. I turn 27 Sunday so it’s just kinda heavy today. Idk what I’ll get out of writing this or asking that question. I just don’t wanna bug anyone for these reasons. He’s been gone for so many years but it feels like I keep feeling closer to him the more I grow older. I wish he was here so I could talk to him..

Answer

Completely normal, doesn’t matter how much time as past with loved ones. I lost my brother to pancreatic cancer in 2021. He was only 36 years old.
I hate holidays including my birthday because he was honestly my highlight at every holiday. He was my role model growing up and I continued to look up to him when I entered my adult years. He was 12 years older than me.
I get moody and depressed few weeks before a holiday and constantly cry still. 
Death really sucks

Answer

Yes it is totally normal I’m 32 and I lost my dad in 2018 I was 27 and it was too young to loose my dad I cry and I hate it. I never really grieved and now I’m starting therapy. I was hard for me. Being the baby of the family. Especially on my birthday I think of him I’m a Taurus and he was a Taurus too our birthday were back to back. Hang in there.

It is 100% normal, NEVER think that missing your dad and feeling sad is not normal. He was your father .. I’m so so so sorry and I send you my condolences, regardless of what year it was and how long it has been. I feel for you, keep your head up. He wouldn’t want you to ever be sad 🤍💫✨ and lastly happy birthday 🎂
