I know I can never "get over" the death of my father, but I need to find
a way to live with the grief with out it ruling over my life.

This is probably not the best weekend to measure your progress in working
your way out of the deep sadness. Feeling the loss during the first
holiday season without him may be as deep as the canyon of grief gets.
And, it won't help to think that there are families out there having a
'Hallmark moment'. It might help to remember that most families aren't.
All the losses pile up around this time, imo. Just keep looking into the
eyes of your child and I hope you find some comfort there. Take care.
