Summary
Losing my Dad was something I thought I had already prepared myself for. He had dementia, and over time, we lost him in small pieces. I believed I had grieved already… but when he actually passed, the grief was unlike anything I expected. In this video, I’m opening up about: What it feels like to lose a parent later in life. How grief can change our understanding of our own aging. How my relationship with my Mom has shifted — and become more precious. How family dynamics change when someone we love is no longer here. And what it means to move forward with love, awareness, and purpose. If you're in retirement or approaching it, you may find yourself reflecting on family, legacy, and time more than ever. You’re not alone. I hope this brings comfort, connection, and understanding to anyone who has walked through loss or is supporting a loved one through it. Thank you, Dad, for the lessons that continue long after you are gone.
