Answer 1

No, there's nothing wrong you just got all your grieving out now go to the grve site and say your final goodbyes

Answer 2

You have probably gotten over it. Of course you still love your dad, but you won't break out in tears everytime you hear his name.

Answer 3

Let me start out by saying that you do not have a problem. Some people just handle grieving differently. I'm kinda like that, too. My grandfather passed away in 2005......and trust me, I cried. But you see I realized that he was in a better place, and that crying wouldn't make him come back. Of course every now and then when I see something on TV or hear a song......I well up. But not all the time. It's because I did my grieving and moved on. Some people just don't take as long to grieve. I think you should go visit your dad's grave. You don't have a problem, trust me. It's actually a good thing....so that way you're not dwelling on the past. Good luck and I hope everything works out! :)

Answer 4

Each person handles grief differently.  Not everyone gets all weepy and overtly emotional when someone dies. I don't. But that doesn't mean that you don't grieve in your own way. You do what you need to do, I am so sorry about your dad. I lost mine recently also.
