My girlfriend of 4 months returned home for her birthday and to see family.
My dad has passed away while she is on holiday, I think it’s best to wait till she’s back to tell her so she doesn’t worry.
im concerned if I keep it from her she may feel hurt.

Don’t tell her ahead of schedule if you think it could harm her to know, such as stress affecting her health or job promotion etc… if she asks you why you did not tell her early, you could say you were so busy consoling relatives you did not even have time to eat dinner, or you were sleeping during the day and awake at night etc…
Ah man, sorry to hear about your pops passing. That's rough no matter what, but definitely a tough thing to deal with alone too.
As for telling your girl, I'd say wait till she's home to break the news. No point in stressing her out and ruining her family time when there's nothin she can really do from far away anyway, you feel me?
I'm sure she'd wanna support you right after, so telling her in person means you get that comfort as soon as possible. Plus then you can see her reaction face to face too, which is better than tryna sort through texts or calls from a distance.
Just make sure to let her know as soon as she's back so she don't think you were keeping it secret. Say like "hey babe we gotta talk, my dad passed while you were gone - I wanted to wait till you were here." She'll understand you just tryna protect her trip, not keepin her out the loop.
Take it day by day homie and surround yourself with your crew for now. You got this - just remember she'll be back home to help hold you down real soon. Stay strong til then, it's all gonna work out.
Yes, I think would be the right thing to do.
