Episode 3 - It Could Be Worse
Feb 14, 2016
Is it possible that losing my father was not the worse thing
that could have happened to me?
Growing up, I had friends whose parents weren't together. Many of
them carried the burden of thinking that their parents weren't
together because of something that they had done. In other words,
it was their fault that their parents weren't together.
I had one friend who would wait for his father to come pick him up
when it was his father's weekend for custody, and his father
inevitably would be a no-show! He would often wonder what he did to
cause his father not to want to be with him.
While grieving my father's death, I take some comfort in knowing
that the reason he isn't present is not by choice, but the actions
of the men who took his life. I don't have the emotional scars that
my friends have.
In some ways I think that would be a lot worse emotionally.
This is one of the ways I cope with my grief.
