When I was young, I felt very loved by my father. But as I grew into a schooled-aged child, my father became distant. He rarely held a conversation with me. As an adult, I concluded that my father was an unemotional, cold individual, and there was a strong possibility that he did not love me. I am sure that my struggles with men throughout my life were the result of not feeling loved by my father.
When I became a medium and started to work with grieving families, I realized that my father had shut down his emotions and his ability to love a child after my brother’s death. I now have an understanding of the pain and suffering that he experienced when his only son died. After my brother’s death, my father felt that he had to be strong for my mother and that men should not show emotion. In order to do that, he closed off his feelings and did not allow himself to grieve. I never saw him cry.
As a medium, I have communicated with my father numerous times. I truly understand his difficult journey in life. We now have a spiritual relationship which has healed us both. Very often, he sends me signs which allow me to know that he is thinking of me.
I now admire him for his strength and hold on to the few happy memories that we shared. This Father’s Day, let’s celebrate our fathers who have crossed over. Let’s celebrate the joyful memories that we hold in our hearts.
