Eid Without My Father's Smile

Assalamu alaikum. My father passed away five years ago from covid when I was thirteen, and every Eid feels so strange now. He used to gather everyone after the Eid salah, and we'd have a big family photo session, SubhanAllah. But these days, it feels like a lot of that celebration and light has gone from the day. I'm supposed to be starting my university degree this year, but honestly, I don't even feel excited about it. It's just not the same.

May Allah grant your father the highest ranks of Jannah and give you sabr. Your feelings are completely valid.

It's okay to not be excited about uni right now. Grief changes our seasons. Take your time.

I felt this in my soul. Lost my mom last year and this Eid was just... quiet. Sending you so much love.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. May you find moments of peace this Eid, even in the sadness.

Hugs, sis. The first Eid without a parent is so hard. The ache doesn't fully go away, but it does get softer, I promise.

Your post made me cry. He's watching over you, proud of the woman you're becoming. Eid Mubarak, darling.

I'm so sorry. My dad was the heart of our Eid too. The photos without him feel so empty. You're not alone.
