Part 2 Special Presentation: 'How do I help someone who is grieving?'Support the show

Sometimes grief begins long before someone dies. It begins when the person you love is still beside you, but the life you knew together is already changing.In this episode, Teresa Reiniger sits down with Suzy McNamara for an honest conversation about caregiving, anticipatory grief, identity, faith, and carrying more than one devastating loss at once.Suzy spent five years as the primary in-home caregiver for her husband, Bob, after he was diagnosed with posterior cortical atrophy, a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's. She shares what it was like watching changes begin in his early 50s, protecting his dignity as his world became smaller, and slowly realizing that she was no longer only his wife, she had become his caregiver, advocate, and protector.Then, while Bob was entering the final stage of his illness, Suzy's sister and best friend, Elizabeth, died. Suzy reflects on what happens when there is barely room to grieve because someone still depends on you.This conversation offers validation for caregivers who feel unseen, people experiencing anticipatory grief, and anyone carrying layered losses.About our guest: Suzy McNamara is a widow, mother of four adult children, former primary caregiver to her husband Bob, and author of The Silkworm, the Magician, and the Sister Tree: A Tale of Love and Loss.In This Episode● How early-onset Alzheimer's changed Bob's identity, career, relationships, and independence.● Why grief can begin while the person you love is still physically present.● How Suzy's identity shifted from wife to caregiver, advocate, and protector.● Protecting a loved one's dignity when others do not understand their limitations.● Grieving Suzy's sister Elizabeth while continuing full-time caregiving.● How faith, writing, friendship, and a smaller support circle helped Suzy keep going.What You'll Take Away● Anticipatory grief is real grief.● Caregivers can lose parts of their identity, too.● Protecting someone may require disappointing other people.● Surviving one difficult day deserves recognition.● You do not need a large circle—you need people who can truly stay.MEMORABLE QUOTESSuzy: “There are so many little tragedies in the big tragedy of Alzheimer's.”Suzy: “That's when the grieving really begins.”Suzy: “The caregiver loses their identity for sure.”Suzy: “You do have to build sort of a wall around your heart.”Suzy: “Getting through one day is a huge, huge accomplishment.”Teresa: “Grief does not always wait for one loss to end before another one begins.”EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 — When Grief Begins Before Death03:33 — Bob's Early-Onset Alzheimer's Story08:26 — The Fear and Shame Before Diagnosis13:28 — When Alzheimer's Arrives in Midlife18:00 — Losing the Identity of Wife and Becoming Caregiver19:48 — Protecting Bob's Dignity and Safety24:59 — Grieving a Sister While Caring for a Husband28:16 — When Caregiving Leaves No Room to Grieve29:26 — The Story Behind Suzy's Memoir33:30 — Finding the People Who Can Truly Stay35:48 — Getting Through One Day Is an Accomplishment39:32 — Suzy's Book and Audiobook42:19 — A Reminder for Caregivers Who Feel Unseen

Mental health has been top of mind for so many parents lately, making this throwback episode feel more relevant than ever. In this rerelease, Miss Beth sits down with therapist and Big City mom Jamie Kreiter to talk about naming our feelings, crying in front of our kids, and why so many moms hesitate to start therapy.In episode 48, Miss Beth sits down with Jamie Kreiter, a therapist and Big City mom, to explore some of the most pressing issues in early childhood development and parenting like getting ready for your child to go to school, repair, and why some moms might hesitate about starting therapy.Jamie and Beth tackle the bittersweet experience of sending a child off to kindergarten and the importance of naming and acknowledging feelings. They explore whether or not it's okay to cry in front of your child, dispel common misinformation about gentle and respectful parenting, and teaching, and discuss why it's crucial not to let your child become your emotional support.The conversation shifts to practical advice on how to model self-advocacy for your child and how to 'hack your brain' to foster better mental health. They emphasize the importance of positive self-talk for kids and introduce "The Magical Yet," a growth mindset book that's perfect for encouraging resilience in young readers.Jamie also shares her personal experience taking Big City Readers classes, adding a humorous touch by questioning whether she even knows how to read as an adult. The two also talk about smut as a genre and feelings around it.Key Topics Discussed:* Understanding trauma and why some moms avoid therapy* Types of therapy for moms* Dealing with intrusive thoughts as a new mom* Grieving when your child starts kindergarten* The importance of naming feelings* Should you cry in front of your child?* Why your child shouldn't console you* Teaching your child to advocate for themselves* Hacking your brain for better mental health* Positive self-talk and the power of "The Magical Yet"Resources Mentioned: Kindergarten course: click here My Amazon PicksConnect with Us: Follow Big City Readers on Instagram: @bigcityreaders Learn more about Jamie Kreiter and her work: Nurture Therapy Originally Released September 24, 2024Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review!

In this episode, Kyia talks about the reality that two things can exist at once. You can grieve the season you are leaving while still feeling deeply excited for what is ahead. From pregnancy and stepping into motherhood to graduating college and closing meaningful chapters of life, she shares how joy and sadness do not have to cancel each other out. Kyia encourages listeners to stop feeling guilty for experiencing conflicting emotions, make room for both gratitude and grief, and trust that God can meet them in the middle of every transition.

What happens when the psychologist becomes the patient? In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with psychologist, chronic illness and pain coach, author, and advocate Dr. Jeffrey Bone about his own decade-long journey with chronic illness and what that experience has taught him about pain, identity, grief, resilience, and hope. Jeff shares how a mysterious collection of neurological and physical symptoms eventually led him through functional medicine, environmental testing, immunology, and a diagnosis of common variable immune deficiency. Along the way, he experienced something many people with complicated or chronic health conditions know all too well: the exhaustion of appointments, uncertainty, conflicting opinions, and simply wanting someone to believe that something is wrong. But Jeff's story is not just about illness. It is about what happens when the life you had planned is no longer available. He and Stephanie talk about grieving your former self, accepting a new normal without surrendering your quality of life, becoming your own healthcare advocate, and finding doctors who remain genuinely curious when the answers are not obvious. That same curiosity ultimately became one of Jeff's most important tools. After years of defining himself largely through work, chronic illness pushed him toward poetry, books, podcasting, creativity, philosophy, new experiences, and a different definition of success. Today, he helps other people living with chronic illness and persistent pain navigate the emotional realities that often receive far less attention than the symptoms themselves. Jeff's challenge is beautifully simple: Ask yourself, "What could be wonderful today?" You do not have to completely reinvent your life. Sometimes curiosity begins with trying something new, asking another question, creating something imperfectly, or simply noticing what has been around you all along.

Grieving an old identity while discovering who you're becoming.

Growth can be beautiful, but nobody really talks about the grief that can come with it. Outgrowing old versions of yourself, old relationships, old dreams, and even the life you once thought you wanted can feel like a loss—even when you know you're moving in the right direction.In Grieving Who You Used to Be, Nyra and Tyreen get real about what it means to grieve who you used to be while making room for the woman you're becoming. They share their own experiences with evolving through their 20s and 30s, letting go, and learning that you can honor who you were without staying who you were.If you're in a season where you can feel yourself changing, this conversation is for you.Take your walk, press play, and give yourself permission to evolve.

Grieving the future you thought you'd have with him can be one of the hardest parts of letting go.Sometimes you're not just grieving the man. You're grieving the marriage you imagined, the family you pictured, the life you planned, and all the moments you thought the two of you would eventually share.In this episode of Healing Sundays, I'm talking about what happens when you become so attached to the future you imagined with someone that you stop paying attention to the relationship you're actually living in.I know what it feels like to stay because you don't want to give up on the life you thought you were going to have. But letting go of him doesn't mean giving up on love. It doesn't mean your future is gone. It doesn't mean you'll never experience the relationship, safety, commitment, or deep love you wanted.Sometimes you have to grieve what you thought your life would be so you can make room for what your life can still become.If you're struggling to let go of an ex, move on from a toxic relationship, or accept that the person you imagined your future with isn't the person you can build that future with, this episode is for you.You can still have the love you wanted. It just may not be with him.

What happens when grief doesn't just change your life—but changes the way you see yourself?After a significant loss, the question may eventually shift from “How do I get through this?” to something much deeper: “Who am I now?”In this solo episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa Reiniger explores the often-overlooked connection between grief and identity. She talks about the widow who is no longer a wife or caregiver, the person grieving a pet, relationship, health, dream, career, or future, and the women who became “the strong one” simply because survival required it.In recognition of National Grief Awareness Day on August 30, Teresa also shares what grieving people often wish others understood: you don't need perfect words. Keep showing up.Keep inviting them. Say their loved one's name. Don't minimize a loss simply because you don't fully understand it. Most importantly, this conversation offers permission to stop measuring healing by how closely you resemble who you were before.Teresa Reiniger is a grief specialist, life transition guide, founder of Living After Grief, and host of Female Voices: Life & Loss. Through her work, she supports people navigating grief, identity changes, and major life transitions.In This Episode● Why grief can change your identity, roles, routines, and sense of the future● How the brain continues expecting the life it knew before a significant loss● Why grieving people need presence more than perfect words or advice● How pet loss and other misunderstood losses deserve to be acknowledged● Why continuing to invite someone matters, even when they repeatedly say no● How the identity that helped you survive may not be the identity you need foreverWhat You'll Take Away● You don't have to become your “old self” again.● A loss doesn't need anyone else's approval to matter.● Supporting grief can be as simple as staying present.● Joy and grief are allowed to exist together.● Healing can include discovering who you're becoming.Memorable Quotes●Teresa: “Sometimes you're grieving yourself too.”●Teresa: “Loss does not need public approval before your heart is allowed to hurt.”●Teresa: “You aren't reminding us that they died. We haven't forgotten.”●Teresa: “Grief isn't either/or. It is so often both.”●Teresa: “Maybe healing is discovering the woman who is still here.”●Teresa: “Grief doesn't need to be fixed. It needs to be witnessed.”

An FBI forensic psychiatrist found a crack in the voice that Lindsay Clancy says told her to kill her children — and it starts with a bowl of chicken nuggets on a couch.Gregory Saathoff, a senior psychiatrist for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, testified on August 25 that Clancy told him she was at the refrigerator preparing chicken nuggets for the children when Patrick called and the voice began. Patrick told Saathoff the children were already eating. Crime scene photographs showed a bowl on the couch. Saathoff called the discrepancy "a cause for significant concern" and identified a second inconsistency — Clancy gave different timelines for when the voice started to two separate evaluators, a gap of roughly twenty minutes.Earlier in the day, prosecution expert Kirk Heilbrun completed his testimony with a collision the jury will carry into deliberations. He told the courtroom Clancy is a grieving mother who tried hard to get help and is not self-centered — then testified she's criminally responsible. Reddington spent the cross exposing his $54,000 bill and his last encounter with postpartum psychosis in 1982. Heilbrun didn't move. Closing arguments expected Thursday.END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Some losses don't come with a funeral. Sometimes we're grieving what didn't happen—the nurturing we didn't receive, the childhood there wasn't room to have, or the adults who couldn't be adults. We can build something different now. But healing doesn't erase the impact of the wound, and making meaning from suffering doesn't mean the suffering was necessary. Sometimes grief says, That mattered. And sometimes it asks, Can you play now? This week on Thanks for Sharing, we're talking about living not after grief, but alongside it.    Have a question or something you'd like me to talk about in a future episode? You can call the show and leave a voicemail or send me an email — I love hearing from you, and your feedback helps shape these conversations.  https://thanksforsharingpodcast.my.canva.site/thanks-for-sharing-links #Grief #DisenfranchisedGrief #TraumaRecovery #Attachment #ThanksForSharingPodcast

Episode 454 of Grief and Happiness features author Arik Housley on losing his 18-year-old daughter, Alaina, in the 2018 Borderline Bar & Grill mass shooting. He shares his path to forgiveness and post-traumatic growth, from his teenage son's eulogy the night of the tragedy to the well-meaning phrases that missed the mark, offering practical wisdom on showing up for the grieving.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(01:00) Arik Housley introduces himself and the loss of his daughter, Alaina(02:16) Finding strength in vulnerability, and a story that reshaped his faith(04:46) The night of the Borderline shooting and the family's evacuation(07:52) His 14-year-old son's decision to write a eulogy that same night(09:57) Speaking at the Parents of Murdered Children's Conference(14:29) Navigating the line between giving privacy and creating isolation(17:06) What to say — and what not to say — to someone who's grieving(20:36) Why "I know how you feel" can do more harm than good(24:47) Choosing joy and carrying love forward after unimaginable loss(25:45) The story behind his book, Always NovemberArik Housley is an author, entrepreneur, and public speaker based in Napa Valley, California, where he has spent nearly 30 years building a portfolio of businesses spanning grocery stores, a winery, and a restaurant. He is the father of Alaina Housley, killed at 18 in the 2018 mass shooting at Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, and author of the bestselling memoir Always November: Lessons in Loss, Love and Resilience, co-written with novelist Holly Lynn Payne. In Alaina's memory, he and his wife, Hannah, founded Alaina's Voice Foundation, supporting mental health and education, and he now speaks widely at universities and conferences on grief and resilience.In this episode, Arik shares the story behind Always November, from the night his family learned of Alaina's murder to the post-traumatic growth that followed, including his decision to forgive the shooter for his own sake, and how he helped his teenage son process the loss of his sister. Much of the conversation turns practical, as Arik offers guidance for supporting the grieving: navigating the line between giving space and disappearing, and why saying something imperfect beats saying nothing at all. He closes by reflecting on how honesty, even when painful, builds the trust that carries families through tragedy.Connect with Arik Housley:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInSubstackBook: Arik Housley - Always NovemberLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

For years, Nancy Deyo lived by the same rules many of us have been taught to follow: work hard, stay disciplined, push through discomfort, and keep going.Those strategies helped her build a successful career as a Silicon Valley CEO. But after a medical crisis on Mount Kilimanjaro left her living with chronic pain, years of misdiagnosis, opioid dependence, and an entirely different reality than the one she had planned, she was forced to ask a difficult question:What do we do when the strategies that made us successful stop working?In this deeply honest conversation, Nancy shares what it was like to grieve the loss of the life she expected, navigate years of being told nothing was wrong, redefine resilience, and learn that perseverance doesn't always mean pushing harder.Together, we explore what it means to stop fighting for the person you used to be and begin building a life that honors who you are now.Whether you're navigating chronic illness, burnout, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply discovering that the old rules no longer fit, this episode is an invitation to consider a different path forward.Because sometimes resilience isn't about enduring more.Sometimes it's about learning to listen.In this episode, we discuss:• Living with chronic pain and medical uncertainty• The emotional impact of being dismissed or misunderstood• Opioid dependence and recovery• Grieving a former version of yourself• Acceptance versus giving up• Slowing down and redefining success• Reinvention in midlife• What resilience looks like when pushing harder no longer works• Lessons from Nancy's forthcoming memoir, Perilous AscentConnect with Nancy:Substack Life Inside Pain: https://nancydeyo.substack.comWebsite: https://nancydeyo.com Connect with Marianne:Website:  Message In The Middle with MarianneMessage In the Middle Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlistsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966Email:  Contact | Message In The Middle with MarianneSubscribe to Message In the Middle:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeLeave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

Episode Description "Your person died, but that is not all you are grieving." In Part 1 of this five-part Grieve That Sh!t series, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, talks about the grief underneath the grief. Because when your person died, you didn't only lose them. You lost the life that existed because they were in it. Maybe you lost the future you thought you would have together. Your routines. Your sense of safety. Your role as a wife, husband, mother, father, daughter, or son. The person who knew your history without needing an explanation. And maybe you lost a version of yourself that you're still trying to find. Grief can change the smallest parts of everyday life. The groceries you buy. The side of the bed you sleep on. The way you spend a Sunday afternoon. The holidays you once loved. The person you call when something happens. Even walking into your own home can feel completely different. And then there's the future. The trips you were supposed to take. The conversations you thought you had years left to have. The graduations, weddings, grandchildren, holidays, traditions, and ordinary days you thought would still include them. That is grief too. In this episode, Sharon asks you to look beyond who you lost and begin naming what you lost when they died. Because everyone may see the death. But they don't always see the loss of identity, safety, confidence, dreams, purpose, relationships, routines, and the future you thought belonged to you. And sometimes, you don't see those losses yet either. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why losing your person is only one part of what you may be grieving How grief can include the loss of your future, identity, roles, routines, and dreams Why ordinary things like groceries, holidays, and quiet Sundays can suddenly hurt How losing someone can change your sense of safety and trust Why you can miss your person and also miss who you were when they were alive Why time alone does not teach you how to live a life you never planned for How naming the grief underneath your loss can help you understand why this has been so hard Questions to Sit With After Listening What else changed when my person died? What future did I believe I was going to have? What part of myself do I miss? What feels less safe now? What am I grieving that nobody else can see? Homework for You Sharon leaves you with one question: "Besides your person, what is one thing that you lost?" Not who did you lose. What did you lose? Your future? Your identity? Your confidence? Your safety? Your social circle? Your dreams? Your purpose? Your role? Your ability to trust yourself? Or maybe the version of you that existed before everything changed? Write down your answer. Tell the truth about it. Because "I'm grieving" can feel enormous. But when you begin naming what is actually underneath that grief, you finally have something you can begin working with.

That is true. But that doesn't mean every part of your life died with them.

Social media has made it easier than ever to recognise ourselves in conversations about ADHD, trauma, anxiety and burnout. But what happens when every diagnosis feels familiar and you leave feeling more confused than before? This week, Julia, Emily and Sophie answer a listener's question about knowing the difference between the ordinary struggles of life and when it's time to seek help. They explore why labels can be useful but aren't always the starting point, how to notice the areas of life where you're feeling stuck, and why your own experience of distress is reason enough to ask for support. It's a compassionate conversation about self-understanding, diagnosis and learning to trust yourself before the noise around you.

Can a child who has passed away still guide a grieving parent through life's biggest decisions? When Chantal calls from southern France, psychic medium Laura Lee connects with her son in spirit—who brings through a powerful symbol of peace and reassurance.During this emotional psychic reading and mediumship session, Laura Lee receives a message connected to a white peace dove, a photograph Chantal looks at often, and a recent move her son in spirit says he helped inspire. As Chantal struggles with grief, uncertainty, and the fear of starting over, the spirit message offers loving spiritual guidance: give yourself time, take baby steps, and remain open to new people and possibilities.This heartfelt medium reading explores grief healing after losing a child, signs from loved ones in the afterlife, spirit communication, and how the connection with someone we love can continue even when life changes. If you're grieving a child or wondering whether your loved one in spirit is still near, this episode may bring comfort, hope, and a reminder that love can continue to guide us forward.

Episode 9 ~ What if your grief feels heavier now than it did when the loss first happened? Does that mean you're going backward, or could something else be happening?In this solo episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa Reiniger explores a part of grief that can catch people by surprise: sometimes the deepest emotions arrive months, or even years, after a loss.In the beginning, there may be funeral arrangements, paperwork, family responsibilities, phone calls, and decisions that simply have to be made. Your body may focus on one thing, surviving the day. But when life becomes quieter and everyone else begins returning to normal, grief can finally have room to surface.Teresa talks about the difference between surviving a loss and living with a loss, why ordinary moments can suddenly become painful, and the guilt some people experience when laughter, joy, and hope begin returning. If you've wondered, “Shouldn't I be doing better by now?” this episode offers a compassionate reminder: deeper grief does not necessarily mean you are moving backward. Sometimes your heart is finally safe enough to feel.About Our HostTeresa Reiniger is a grief specialist, women's coach, and founder of Living After Grief. In this episode, she draws from her work alongside grieving women to offer reassurance, perspective, and hope for those learning how to carry both love and life after loss.In This Episode● Why grief may feel stronger months after a loss.● How survival mode can postpone overwhelming emotions.● The loneliness of watching the world return to normal while yours has changed.● Why everyday routines and “firsts” can trigger unexpected waves of grief.● The guilt that can come with laughing, enjoying life, or feeling hopeful again.● What it means to begin living again without leaving your loved one behind.What You'll Take Away● Feeling more grief later does not mean you are failing.● Your body may wait until it feels safer before allowing emotions to surface.● Grief includes mourning the ordinary life you shared.● Joy and grief can exist together.● Healing does not require forgetting or “getting over” someone.Memorable Quotes● Teresa: “In the beginning, you're surviving the loss. Later, you're living the loss.”● Teresa: “Grief has been patiently waiting until we are finally still enough to feel it.”● Teresa: “Every wave of grief is also revealing another place where love once lived.”● Teresa: “Joy is not betrayal.”● Teresa: “Laughter is not forgetting. Healing is not leaving someone behind.”● Teresa: “What part of my heart is finally safe enough to feel?”

From the week of August 15th in our God of Emotion series, we'll look at Grieving King from Luke 19:1–44. Yeshua comes seeking the lost, calling His servants to faithfulness, and bringing the way of peace. Yet when He looks at Jerusalem, He weeps.What grieves Yeshua when He comes near to His people?Join us as we discover what His tears reveal about the heart of the King.

Are TikTok tributes and AI “angel wings” a sincere way to grieve… or pure cringe and attention-seeking?Adrian and Jeremy dig into the big question: can you judge how someone mourns, especially when the person who died never consented to be “plastered” online?Callers go hard on both sides. Dave explains why his Facebook is a memorial to his late partner. Trevor says grief should stay private and tells how a graveside moment was filmed and posted without permission. Others argue those posts keep memories alive, while some draw the line at coffin photos and over-the-top edits.

Together, we'll reflect on how even joyful transitions like marriage or new beginnings can bring unexpected grief, guilt, and growth.

No one talks enough about the space between who you were and who you are becoming.In this joint episode, Nimesh and Stacey reunite for a raw and honest conversation about the loneliness that can come with awakening, healing and becoming a new version of yourself.When your vibration changes, your world can start to feel different. Relationships shift. Old spaces no longer feel safe.

This week Kelsey Parker sits down with Shaughna Phillips for an honest chat about motherhood, grief and the beautiful chaos of raising two little girls.Shaughna gets real about the jump from one to two, why baby Sofia has just had to "slot in", and why she's chosen to keep three-year-old Lucia home instead of sending her to nursery, five years full-time is all she gets, and she's determined to be selfish with it.Then it goes deeper: losing her dad to pancreatic cancer at 22, the promise she made to keep his diagnosis from her mum, looking after him through his final months, and how grieving him as a daughter became something else entirely once she became a mum herself.Plus the lighter stuff: Love Island auditions and every green light going her way, a pension committee job with 900 applicants after she left, and the psychic who told her Lucia "came out the sunroof."Grab a cuppa and get comfy.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Join the Millionaire University AI Mastermind at ⁠⁠⁠MillionaireUniversity.com/AI⁠⁠⁠ #1035 When entrepreneurship doesn't go as planned, what happens next? In this candid follow-up conversation, Dini McCullough Amozurrutia returns to Millionaire University to share the honest story behind the closing of Dini's Divine Pies. After leaving a career as an attorney to pursue her pie business full-time, Dini built a loyal following, catered high-profile events (including a wedding at the British Embassy), and explored wholesale opportunities with retailers like Whole Foods — but ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down as rising costs, shifting consumer spending, and economic headwinds took their toll. Dini opens up about the grief of letting go, why she refuses to call the experience a failure, and how the lessons she learned are already shaping her next chapter: a return to legal practice, a cross-country move to Los Angeles, and early-stage ideas for a podcast and book rooted in storytelling and community. This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur navigating a pivot, a setback, or the hard decision to close a business — and a reminder that resilience often looks less like pushing through and more like knowing when to be honest with yourself! What we discuss with Dini: + Leaving law for pie business + Early success and growing buzz + Economic headwinds hit hard + Rising costs, shrinking margins + Cutting staff, doing it all + Exploring wholesale and pivots + Avoiding the sunk cost fallacy + Grieving the business's closure + Not viewing it as failure + Next chapter: law, LA, storytelling Thank you, Dini!

In 2022, Steph Tupper's two older children, Ali and Joe, were killed in a car crash. Ali was 16 and Joe was 14. Four years later, Steph is still learning how to live with the reality of losing her children while continuing to parent her youngest daughter.  In this episode, Steph talks openly about the devastating night she learned Ali and Joe had died, the ways she continues to feel connected to them, and the complicated process of building a life around an absence that will never go away. She shares what she has learned about community, judgment from others - and herself, parenting after loss, and allowing grief to unfold without a timeline.  In the last four years, Steph has learned how devastating pain and great joy can coexist, and how her capacity to carry grief continues to grow. We discuss: The shock of sudden loss  Feeling connected to Ali and Joe through signs, memories, and a sense of their presence  Parenting her daughter while grieving  The importance of community and finding other parents who have experienced child loss  The pressure and judgment people who are grieving can face  Why grief doesn't follow a timeline - and why support shouldn't either  Navigating anniversaries, holidays, birthdays, and back-to-school season  Learning to anticipate difficult seasons rather than trying to make them disappear  Making space for both joy and profound sadness  What it means to simply sit with someone's grief instead of trying to fix it  Learn more about Dougy Center's grief education & training offerings: https://www.dougy.org/professionals-trainings

How do you care for an aging parent who never gave you what you needed as a child? In this deeply relatable coaching session, Christine works with Kelli, whose elderly father is beginning to show signs of aging and short-term memory changes. As the firstborn daughter and the only medical professional in her family, Kelli feels much of the responsibility for preparing for what may come next. But underneath the practical concerns is something much more complicated: grief for the father-daughter relationship she never had. Family members have told Kelli that she can seem "cold" toward her father. Yet Christine offers another perspective—what looks like coldness may actually be protection. After years of disappointment, lack of accountability, and feeling emotionally unseen, Kelli learned that keeping her heart guarded was safer than continuing to hope her father would become the dad she needed. Together, Christine and Kelli explore the father wound, caregiving, boundaries, resentment, grief, and how our relationships with our parents can influence the partners we choose and our ability to receive healthy love. Christine encourages Kelli to find the "both/and": she doesn't have to pretend everything is okay or abandon the boundaries she's worked hard to create. But she can also ask herself how she wants to show up in the relationship now so that, when her father is gone, she can experience grief without guilt. If you've ever struggled with an aging parent, felt guilty about keeping emotional distance from a family member, or wondered how your relationship with your father may be affecting your romantic relationships, this conversation will resonate deeply. Press play to discover how you can honor your hurt, maintain your boundaries, and still choose truth and love in the relationships that matter most. Consider / Ask Yourself Are you grieving the relationship you wish you could have had with one of your parents? Have others interpreted your emotional protection as being "cold" or distant? Are you caring for an aging parent while carrying unresolved hurt from childhood? How might your relationship with your father be influencing the way you relate to men or romantic partners? What would it look like to experience grief without guilt? Key Insights and A-Ha's What looks like emotional coldness may actually be a protective response to years of hurt and disappointment. You can accept who a parent is without pretending they gave you everything you needed. Healthy boundaries and love can coexist. Father wounds can influence worthiness, trust, vulnerability, and our relationships with men. We may unconsciously seek partners who give us what we didn't receive from our parents. Asking for help and delegating family responsibilities can prevent resentment and challenge the belief that everything falls on you. Self-love, truth, and authenticity can ultimately become stronger protection than emotional walls. How to Deepen the Work Ask yourself how you genuinely want to show up with an aging parent—not from guilt or obligation, but from your own values. Notice when hurt or protective patterns are leading your interactions and consider whether there's an authentic middle ground. Practice reminding your younger self that a parent's emotional limitations reflect their capacity, not your worth or lovability. Allow yourself to grieve the parent-child relationship you wanted without forcing the relationship you actually have to become something it isn't. Ask family members for help rather than automatically carrying the emotional and practical responsibility yourself.
