This is a follow-up to Episode 7, where I spoke with my friend Amanda, who talked about her grief following the deaths of her mother and father. If you haven’t heard that episode, hop back to get to know Amanda and her experiences.
In this episode, Amanda is filling the gaps in my grief knowledge. I don’t know what I’m not asking, since I haven’t been through this myself. It’s very easy for me to focus on the parts of death and dying that are very surface level – and that would pertain to me as a listener of someone’s story. Amanda is taking us behind the scenes of her story to talk about how she was with each of her parents when they died, how those processes were very much a part of her grief — and may be for many people.
As a bit of a trigger warning in this episode, Amanda does describe the moments and process leading up to her parents’ deaths. The stories are at a pretty high level — they aren’t graphic by any means — but anyone listening who has lost someone to cancer or a heart attack: it could be tough to relive it with her. ❤️💔❤️
As always – thank you for listening. If you have thoughts on this episode send them my way!
