That she understands his pain and that she welcomes reuniting with him and other family members are the feelings that Antigone expresses about her father in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone appreciates her family. She especially loves those who experience drawn out suffering such as her father disgraced King Oedipus and her brother disgraced Prince Polyneices. She recognizes that her father's crime and immorality cause her pain in life but that does not steop her from missing him and looking forward to a lengthy reunion in the Underworld of the afterlife.
