RE-RELEASE Ansel & Charles - He was a complicated man...

RE-RELEASE

Trigger warning. This episode has some discussion about suicide.

Ansel speaks about his father, Charles, who passed away in 2018 from kidney and heart complications after he stopped taking his medication.

Ansel discusses losing his father, navigating his new normal, and his many struggles with his “grief shroud”, a way to describe the emotions that can come over you while dealing with the loss of a loved one. Ansel recognizes that the condolences and well-wishes were well-meaning, but he wasn’t in a place to receive them. While he also better understands where patience truly comes from - as a parent and going through grief.

When he asked for a sign that his father made it to heaven, he saw a red cardinal that gave him peace. His experience is similar to what Lashelle experienced in Lashelle & Linda.
