“To wrap up this part about death and why I have this relationship with it, it was shaped by the very premature and completely accidental loss of my father. I was 35 years old, and my father was 56.”
Did it take you time to accept the loss of your father?
It took me a little time to process it, because I lost him without being able to say goodbye at all, due to a cerebral hemorrhage. He suffered from nothing, he was completely healthy, completely fit. He was living his life very well, with a good career, and imagine a person who leaves life like that, for a son it is a very great loss. That moment exhausted me a lot, I got through it with great difficulty, but I got through it. And I think that when you lose one of your two parents, but losing your father is… I think you change very quickly overnight. Death is not normal, it is not something you can fully process, but when it happens in such a abrupt, sudden, and early way, it creates a kind of…
During these years that have passed, have you ever felt your father’s presence in different ways?
There are moments when I look for it. I seek his presence to give answers to many things that I cannot answer on my own, and I think that in one way or another, he does. There are times when I miss him so much, and when I miss him that much, the only thing I can do is go visit him where he is. But I avoid even that from time to time because when I go to the cemetery, I have a terribly bad feeling, I break down a lot, and that moment of standing in front of a grave drains a lot of energy from me. So I try to find a middle ground. But I think we should not separate ourselves forever from the dead.
