Did you talk to anyone professionally about your dad, or your fears
On reflection did you have a privileged childhood in terms of happiness
What have you learnt
How do you identify in your emotions what that split screen is
Did you get approval from your parents? Was it wrong that they gave you their approval? Was their approval in hindsight the right or wrong thing?
'you've never opened yourself up to anyone' - What would opening yourself up look like? 'freedom to be innocent' - what does that mean?
Why loneliness? Were you close? Have you been to his grave? Have you decided to not talk about his death - like your grandfather?
Why were you so unprepared? His death was the first experience of separation?
