What more my life has to offer
Thinking about this question brings up a lot of grief for me regarding my late father. Grief and guilt and sadness. Although it wasn’t always clear to me at the time he NEVER gave up on me.. He was my lifeline.

Thank you for the brave share.
This question brings up a lot of grief for me sometimes. We all have lots of grief, it’s a totally natural, healthy emotion when we honour it and let it flow.
That’s powerful and beautiful about your father. And, such a normal experience to really realise it later on.
My own father passed away very suddenly, after an accident. I can’t say I ever really knew him. I did a lot of talking aloud to him, by myself, and healed a lot of my relationship to him that way. I knew he wasn’t able to have those conversations in person, so I just spoke my anger, grief, and love love love outloud as a practice.
I hope you can hold onto that lifeline he was for you, that you can treasure it and keep it and revisit it, even now and for all your life…

Thank you!!!!! Means a lot. I will keep talking to him even though i wish he could hear me. The guilt can feel overwhelming.

The thing that makes sense to me, is that we can’t control the flow of events in life, of course. And we do miss some big moments, and we do fail to express what we really needed to. And the only thing we can do, is to keep on opening up and doing our best to voice it now, to express it now, and try to trust that it all is heard and felt, on whatever level, because everything stays connected. I still talk to my dad sometimes now, and it’s actually much easier in some ways : )
The key is to express without trying to force anything, without trying to change how we feel, without trying to resolve things. But jsut be with it and voice it, and that’s what can create space for….whatever needs to move.
