"My father died this morning, in Cuba. The hurt was so deep, the shock so deep, the sense of loss so deep, it was as if I had died with him. I felt myself breaking, falling. I wept not to have seen him since Paris, not to have forgiven him, not to have been there when he died alone and poor in a hospital," Anais opens this entry in her Diary.
Loss, unfulfilled love, death of a part of herself, disbelief, pain are felt by Anais even though she viewed her father as selfish and disconnected from other human beings. She cannot accept it because the relationship was unresolved.
This is a sad situation when someone you love and care about dies unexpectedly, without warning, before you had a chance to make peace or say your goodbyes. This is why you must not waste time or hold grudges or procrastinate because you never know when an interaction with a person will be your last opportunity.
