Meaning
This reads as grief mixed with old hurt. It points to the idea that a later loss can reopen an earlier absence, so the real pain is not only the death itself but the unfinished feeling left by an estranged childhood. It lands in any conversation about family distance, where losing a parent can also mean confronting what was never fully there.
