My dad died the morning after his 50th birthday. Just a little over 1 year ago. Before he died, I hadn't spoken to him in 3 months prior to his death. I had been angry at him over a disagreement we had w/ each other. He lived in another State than me, but was very much a part of my life, and a positive influence in my life & a great father. I feel so guilty and sometimes sad, that I feel like it's affecting me overall. His death was unexpected, and I find myself wishing I had not been so stubborn and gotten a chance to speak to him, at least, before he died. I did send him a B-day card, and he had called me to " thank " me for it but I wasn't their to answer my phone. Is there any suggestions on how to overcome my feelings of grief, guilt and regret with this???
I am normally a very positive, happy person...but find myself from time to time, not every day, feeling down and sad about this..even sometimes feel less motivated.
Suggestions on what I can do to get over these feelings
