How Death Changes Relationships

In my youth I was the original workaholic who struggled to find time for my family. The death of Dad changed that…I had so many regrets….we knew we loved each other, however I just had not spent the time that I should have done with him. I missed the chance of putting that right
Last week I booked a holiday with Mum (She is the one on the left in the picture with my 98 year old nana!). Through our combined grief we have become closer. I speak to her every day now which feels so wonderful. Now it is a love pure,
because we both value the time we have together. I haven’t been on holiday with mum for 27 years! I have never wanted to…but now that time with her is something I want, something that I will treasure. It leaves me thinking….
Why does it take death to change our lives?
