RE: A Daily Dose Of Faith In Humanity & Good Karma - Day 10

in #faithinhumanity7 years ago

Hey @Steemmatt, thank you for sharing from your heart. Oh gosh, I can't stop crying, is that crazy? My father died and I was in a different country. He was old school, worked hard, didn't say much and I felt we had a lot left unsaid. I just became an adult when he died but it still hurts when I think about him today. In the end, I think what hurts the most is that I didn't get to say good-bye. All the other things, that he did or I did, what was said or unsaid, seems insignificant compared to that. I guess, I just wanted to say that it's really inspiring to see how you're staying positive through all this and not just that, you want to share and encourage others. That's just awesome!!

Oh no!! I'm usually supposed to make you laugh!! Hopefully you were able to cheer up after you were able to flush out some of your emotions. It's healthy, I've learned.

I can see how you relate from your own difficult experience. There's a certain unease when things are unsettled at the end without the peace you need inside. While you can learn to cope with it, it's something you feel you'll never be able to completely have, and that is hard to live with when the feelings are stirred.

While I got some closure, I'll learn to live with what I didn't get as you have too. Most of my closure had to be manufactured with my Mom whispering him things I wasn't able to say myself, and saying some final words to him on my own when he was still listening. My main goal was to tell him I'd figure out how to handle the pain he caused me so he can be at ease to move on. My Mom repeatedly reminded him of this and other promises she asked him to try to keep for me, so I'll have to rely on hope and faith for the rest.

We can only worry about what we can control, and be happy that we did what we could. I believe that the spirit carries on, so perhaps you can still speak to him for your peace, and he may be listening.

Thank you for your genuine reply and support.

Yeah, I enjoy a good cry every now and then....just helps release all the stress and pent up emotions.
