Year 1 - The World Doesn’t Stop

The first year after losing a parent is intense, disorienting, and deeply heartbreaking. In this episode, we talk about what no one prepares you for—the logistics of grief like choosing an urn and tracking down documents, the challenge of telling people and owning your decisions, and navigating disagreements when others don’t understand.

We explore shifting relationships, learning to trust yourself, the heaviness of anniversaries and holidays, the isolation that can set in, and the importance of community support. A conversation for anyone surviving that first year while the world keeps moving forward.
