This love does not disappear after a child or father passes. Father's Day can seem particularly somber in these situations. Grief on Father's Day can be incredibly challenging. The day can bring on feelings of loss, regret, and sorrow. The heaviness that accompanies these special days canoften seem overwhelming, leaving us at a loss for how to deal with thepain and suffering.

Dealing with the loss of a father is hard. It can be painful to accept that they're no longer there to guide us or give us much-needed advice to get through some rough patches in life. Dealing with the loss of a child is even more painful. This makes Father's Day incredibly challenging for those dealing with loss.

Missing a father or child on Father's Day is a normal reaction to grief, but it is equally important to remember our lost loved ones with a fondness that makes us smile. Grief and joy can coexist. It may take time and doesn't happen overnight, but while we always miss them, when we remember the things about them, we love – their unique smile, quirky laugh, kind heart,or generous spirit – it brings them closer to us.

At The Gardens of Boca Raton Cemetery, it's been our experience that these relationships are everlasting. Whether or not the relationship was a close one, it has an impact that we carry with us for the rest of our lives. We can mend a relationship with a father or child who has passed by valuing their positive traits and giving them grace in the areas where they may have let us down.

Reflecting on the bond and the person they were helps us process the loss and better understand our grief. Consider starting new traditions that maintain the father/child bond. This could be cooking their favorite meal or visiting their favorite restaurant on Father's Day. These simple rituals honor them and keep their memory alive.

On this special day, the ownership and staff at The Gardens of Boca Raton Cemetery and Funeral Home wish you and yours a happy Father's Day remembrance and celebration.

Warmly,

Marshall Jacobs General Manager/Chief Operating Officer
