(Let me be unvarnished for a moment, this episode is lightly edited so that you can see how grief affects people. Forgive me my trespasses.)

Back in Episode 27, we talked about my father dying in hospice. Today we discuss what happens when the loss of a loved one brings together estranged family members and stirs up unexpected emotions. I attempt to navigate the raw and emotional journey of losing my father and reflect on the complexities that can arise during such a deeply personal experience. I find myself attempting to take my own advice, confronting the pain head-on, and sharing the bittersweet moments of family unity that emerged during my father's funeral. I discuss the challenges our family faced, including the impact of my father's second marriage and the mixed feelings it evoked. I reflect on special moments shared with my father in his final days; how we honored his memory in a way that felt true through a traditional Irish wake, despite the undercurrents of tension. I know that grief can open new doors, close others, and ultimately lead to healing.
