[quote=Anonymous]Not to be morbid, but to echo the immediate PP, sometimes (many times??) the person's death is not going to resolve the feelings. My mother, who was essentially abandoned by her father after my grandmother died when my mother was 9 (and my grandfather knocked someone up who became the evil stepmom, etc.) was in her 50s and did a lot of therapy to try to come to terms with her long-dead dad. Her therapist had her bring in a picture of my grandfather. My mom was never going to get the kind of resolution and peace she wanted from my grandfather while he was alive, but the therapy really helped her come to terms with him after he was dead. Her therapist was of the view that relationships continue even after one person dies -- not in a communicate with the dead through a seance way, but in the feelings and emotions of the person who lives on.[/quote]
