The Importance of Acceptance

I think in some way, looking back on it, me and my brother both felt as if we had an opportunity here. We had an opportunity to love my dad in a very particular way that we had not been able to with my mum. It was totally different, but the sense of loss was the same. This time there was just more agency. And agency is not always, it doesn't always feel good. All that was required when my mum died was acceptance,. Whereas here, we could do things. With agency comes responsibility. Precisely. That's not easy. When you think of him now then, and this I imagine is different to your mum. Would that be right
