Losing a Parent: Lessons From Grief From a Year Without My Dad

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing lessons learned during my first year of grief after losing my dad. I'm opening up about the unexpected ways grief has shaped me, and the beautiful discoveries I've made along the way.

Key Takeaways:

• Why grief moves like ocean tides - sometimes gentle, sometimes crashing over you when you least expect it.
• How I gave myself permission to handle holidays differently (and why leaving town for some special dates was part of my healing)
• The surprising truth about finding joy after loss
• What my dad's handkerchief taught me about carrying memories forward in meaningful ways
• Why healing has to be as unique as your relationship was

This episode isn't just about loss - it's about finding your way back to light while keeping loved ones in your heart. There are no perfect answers - just honest reflection and heartfelt hope for anyone who needs it.
