It's normal to feel sad but you may be using the photographs as a release of other sad emotions - almost an excuse to cry.
I will say this - my mother's dad died when she was 7 yo and that was 65 years ago, and she has moaned about it every day of her rotten life. She says, "If only my father had've lived my life would've been different!" Balls! That bitch would never have taken her dad's advice on anything!
My school friend's dad when she was 7 yo and she has never mentioned it.
Everyone handles things differently but please don't dwell on it to destroy your future relationships with people. These things just happen to make you stronger.
Is it normal that I cry when I see photos of my dead father?
