RE: Insecurity
I’m sorry for your loss.
We lost our Father when I was 19, and as terrible as it is——and how much we all miss him still—his loss helped shape us too. It forced us to grow up more. Face certain challenges of arranging his funeral. The entire time I was thinking “okay, how would you handle this Dad?”
He was a young man too when he lost his Father, one week before he graduated from RCMP training. I watched him as a 9 yr old, and his strength.....and it was what got me through the first week of our lives without him.
I am sorry for your loss as well.
You're right - the loss of those we love shapes us in ways that nothing else can . . . and, often, we come out stronger, more resilient, and hopefully, kinder and more compassionate.
I'm grateful for my parents, because as flawed as they were, as we all are, they were very pragmatic when it came down to death being a part of life, and it was never held up as something to fear. Thanks to them, my sisters and I all had healthy attitudes toward death.
