Gary Lightbody was ‘broken’ by father’s death

Snow Gary Litody patrol star said that he felt a shrinkage due to the death of his father, Jack, and that writing about it was healing.

The father of Lightbody, who was suffering from dementia, died at a home to care for the elderly in December 2019.

He said he was “numb for a year” after his father’s death, but he hopes to help the other writers who grieve.

He told BBC News Ni: “I didn’t write it, I think people were reading it at all, and I was writing it myself,” he told BBC News Ni.

The Frontman, whose successes include chasing cars and running, was speaking before the release of his book, The Forest is the Path.

“When I finished it, I sent him to a few friends, then I started holding discussions with close friends about their grief, their own process that they went through, and discovered that everyone is different,” he said.

However, Panjor singer said that love connects all sorrow.

“You can’t be sad for someone’s death without I love him in the first place,” he said.

“I think that when I got to the end of the book, I was as if someone had passed that, and I felt that I did, as I was broken, I wanted to put it in the world even if it was on an extended card.”

Lightbody writes about his memories today when his father died, his love for his father, and his guilt, “in the absence of a lot of what these last years have gone through from your cognitive decline and your illness.”

The singer said that the death of his father taught him “to pass through anything.”

“I never imagined, you don’t imagine that, one of the parents will happen,” he said.

“So I never thought about it, even when he was suffering from dementia, I was refusing to believe it and perhaps this is what caused numbness in the first place.

“But you have to communicate with things too.

“In the book, talking about instant things that you need to attend immediately after death.

“I felt that a flame was passed and I was the family of the family now – I had to stand up and be.”

It was imposed by the sober and then forced him to focus on his mental health.

Lightbody said it was “less fragile now” and was determined not to waste any days.

“I often write in the book about a copy of myself now,” he said.

“But it is an existing version, I interacted with the world that was drunk, drugs, or in a kind of Fugue, and now I feel that I am awake and present and feel much stronger for it.”

The book is a companion of Snow Patrol album, titled The Forest is the Path, which was released last year.

“While you do not have to read this book to understand the album, listening to the album may help in some parts of this book.”
