The article recounts the experience of a man who realized his bisexuality and later identified as gay, following the death of his wife. He had suppressed his feelings out of love and responsibility for his family, choosing to stay in the closet to avoid hurting his wife and children. After her passing, therapy helped him confront his guilt and ultimately come out to friends and family, signaling a turning point in his understanding of self-identity and emotional liberation.

After her passing, I started seeing a therapist for grief, holding onto an immense amount of guilt and feeling responsible for her death.
