I wonder if I've had an epiphany


19 years ago 0 19 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
My Father died in 1999 after 14months in hospital. I have always been angry with him since then for not trying harder to get better - it's a long story but basically he just gave up. Last night I was very tearful about what seemed to be nothing at the start but as always, my wife was fantastic. Very caring, very gentle, very understanding. All of a sudden I blurted out in the tears that "I so miss my Dad" That was the first time since his death I have felt like that. I cried and cried my eyes out. I felt like a little boy that had lost his daddy just when they were best frends. Even as I type now I can feel emotion welling up. We went on to talk for ages about him and I reminisced like I have never done since he died. I've felt a bit different about all things anxiety based ever since. Not sure if it's better at the moment...it's just...different. Time will tell if it's a permamnet and better new perspective or not I guess but I just wondered if anyone else has ever had a change in perspective of anxious thoughts and whatnot brought on by something like this?
