Father’s Day is on Sunday – how will you be celebrating?
For many of us, Father’s Day brings about memories and thoughts that may be painful. Here are just a few of the situations that can make Father’s Day a difficult holiday to enjoy:
Having lost a father (or father figure)
Wanting, but not being able to, have children
Having a difficult relationship with your father/children
Being a widow with children who will miss their father on Sunday
Being a father who has no contact with his children
Being a father whose child has died, gone missing, run away
Growing up with an absent father or a father you never knew
Having a serious illness and spending Father's Day in hospital
