## Resource

We think we can prepare for grief. We read about it. We anticipate it. We try to brace ourselves for the moment we know is coming. And then it happens… and nothing prepares us. In this deeply human and unfiltered conversation, David sits with two guests to explore the lived experience of losing a mother through illness, through distance, through time, and through the quiet shock that follows even when the loss is expected. This is not a clinical discussion. It’s not a guide. It’s not five steps to healing. It’s a real conversation about what grief actually feels like: the illusion of being prepared the isolation of mourning alone the weight of being present at the end the disorientation of feeling untethered the complexity of loving imperfect parents and the slow, ongoing work of learning to live without them There are moments of heartbreak. Moments of honesty. Moments of unexpected laughter. And somewhere in it all… a quiet recognition that grief does not take everything, it reveals what remains. If you’ve ever lost someone… or know that one day you will… this conversation is for you.
