093 - Remembering Rama

Valentine's day is all about love, but sometimes love leads to pain. Today, we talk with Gemm who updates us on a harrowing personal tragedy going on behind the scenes; the recent loss of Gemm's life partner Dr. Rama Thiruvengadam. The vulnerability of an open wound, along with the meaning of love, and difficulties of healing are are among topics touched on - as always - from Gemm's unique universe. We hope you'll take the ride with us. ALL ABOARD!

Sad life lesson

This podcast is how I found out about the suicide of someone I cared about. While it helps to know why she disappeared, I didn't need to know about how it affected the personal finances of the interviewee, or how this person justified dealing with the deceased's family and loved ones in a less-than-charitable way. I note it came up as just one of a series of podcasts that does not seem to be interrupted by the loss of Rama, the interviewee's "life partner". Yes, some people don't cry or show grief the way others do. But some people also don't feel grief for others, because they are absorbed with themselves and their own experience. Self love has its limits. If we don't care for each other on this earth, we are all lost. THAT is the unintentional lesson I take from this person and this podcast.
