How to get through it
It’s only natural to experience severe and confusing emotions when your parent becomes very old, sick, or even passes away. If you didn’t go through this, then you may need to see a therapist. Rather than dwell on the topic of your mortality, consider this an opportunity to have a new lease on life. Take this as a wake-up call to look around and consider if you’ve been spending enough time with your spouse, your children, and your friends. In honor of your parent, do the things you know they wish they’d had more time to do. Rather than allow depression to distance you from your partner, take this opportunity to cherish him more.
