Well, if your dog died, I don't know if it would be weird or disrespectful, but I think if it was harder for you, maybe it's because you lost your father and you loved him very much, and it might be harder to lose your dog because you are losing another person you love.

I am 13 and no one really close to me has passed away ( though my mom's birth parents are both dead) but personally I really really don't like it when people die, and i'm scared I'm going to lose someone really close to me, and I think the more people that you know that pass away it's either going to get harder or easier.

And I don't think it's bad that you are still grieving, but someday you have to wipe the tears away and move along. Your father probably doesn't like that you have been grieving for a while now.

And think on the bright side..your dad is in a better place.
The world is full of cruel things.

No.... not at all... First off, it depends on how much you like your father. Also, you could like the dog because s/he came at a time when you needed it most...

Its sounds like you might have mild postpartum depression - commonly associated with people who have recently lost a loved one.

I would consider talking to a grief counciler. Also sometimes the passing of a loved one may take years and it is only natural to feel "depressed" over it. But its really saddness that will eventually go away, especially if you get help for it. maybe talk to your school counciler, its what they are there for.

No it's not weird. I feel like that with my mom. It would be harder to have my cat die than her. But the main way I feel that way is because she makes me feel like I'm a worthless piece of sh*t.

Postpartum depression is associated with female hormones after pregnancy. Not after a loved one dies.

Dealing with an animal death is easier. It seems like you are avoiding the feelings about your father. My father died over 15 years ago and I completely understand the feeling. I actually didn't start dealing with the feelings surrounding his death until a few years ago. Hang in there!
