RE: Memories 12 Years Later: A Few Moments of Reflection on a Deceased Parent

But life is too short and too precious to carry around anger and resentment forever. What good does that do? We can't undo the past, and eternally re-hashing what made us bitter and disappointed in the past doesn't allow us to move forward. We get stuck. I'd rather remember the good bits, and be here now.

Its true yet we all have those thoughts and maybe insecurities about what happened in the past now after the death of a parent

How about YOU? Do anniversaries of dead loved ones give you pause for thought? Are there specific things about people that you really miss?

Well we lost my PIL both last year during Covid so the missing is fresh. But I can relate to the not being able to define the word MISSING. And I think because this is common ( when I talk to friends they say the same ) it’s ok. Times change people change and in the end we let bygones be bygones
