Why do you say there's been a gift to you when your parents died?
Did you ever find yourself mourning the loss of the relationship you wish you had with your mother?
My T actually thinks that my father's death might make it easier for me to feel a connection between the messages she thinks I got from him, and the way I am now. Her conjecture is that maybe I'll feel less guilty about blaming him for things. I'm not so sure of that, but I do find myself sometimes just wanting to feel sorry for the insecure child I was - or just really wishing I had a different relationship with my father.
