when my Father passes. Not that I wish that he'd pass you understand.

I have been thinking about this for quite some time as he ages. He'll be 89 in October.
He and I never have had a good relationship. We are congenial and that's about it.
I have a lot of issues with our past. Issues that I have never spoken about to anyone. Perhaps my attitudes would change if I sought therapy, but then I'd have to feel it important enough.

I can't see me sobbing and grieving in the way many will and do.

Bottom line here.
We all grieve differently. Your grieving and mine are similar only in the fact that we both have fathers.
There is NO wrong way and NO proper way to grieve.

I think I will be angry too and finally let go of the hurt. (make sense?)

I'm sorry for your loss. It is a loss, a different loss.
