Dad is a State of Mind
A dear friend recently commemorated the anniversary of losing her dad to Cancer. She told me about a dream she had with her dad in it which he gave her some very sound advice, giving her confidence to move ahead and make big changes in her life. Depending on how you see the world, you will interpret what dreams mean in a particular way. I would love to be ‘visited’ in my dreams by my parents once they shuffle off this mortal coil. Lucky for me, I can still get advice, love and support from both my parents by picking up the phone.
I have recently considered that if I am lucky my parents will die before me. I am becoming increasingly aware how difficult this transition will be and how little our culture prepares us for it.
My mother has had Multiple Sclerosis for the last 25 years, and so I have been emotionally prepared for her to die for a very long time.
