Ask the Psychic: Making Peace with a Deceased Father
A reader, Arlene, writes about her complicated relationship with her father, who passed away a few months ago without ever expressing his love for her.
My father was a man of few words and unable to show love. Not once did he tell me that he loved me.
Arlene wonders if her father feels bad about the way he treated her and her siblings, and how she can make peace with him now that he's no longer alive.
Response from Bonnie
Bonnie acknowledges that Arlene's father was not a perfect person and that their relationship was complicated.
She notes that no one on Earth is perfect, and that we are all here to learn and grow from our mistakes.
- No one is perfect, and we are all imperfect in our own ways.
- Earth is our "schoolroom" where we learn and grow from our mistakes.
Arlene's question raises a common issue: what happens when someone passes away with unresolved relationship issues?
