Podcasts about losing a parent

Saul Bellow wrote, “Losing a parent is something like driving through a plate-glass window. You didn't know it was there until it shattered, and then for years to come you're picking up the pieces.” In honor of Father's day, we offer some thoughts about parental relationships that you may find helpful as you pick up your own pieces of glass, and maybe a few splinters.  https://bit.ly/4l8cvXf In this Episode:02:54 - Road Trip: Virginia and Pimento Cheese Recipe04:21 - Patrick Henry's Famous Speech06:52 - Essay by David Sedaris on the Death of His Father, "Orphaned at Last"18:08 - Leo Tolstoy - The Old Grandfather and the Grandson19:42 - OutroSupport the showGet show notes and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

Losing a parent in your teens or twenties is a uniquely painful experience that can shape your identity, relationships, and mental health for years to come. In this episode of The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, Dr Marianne Trent speaks with Harry and Hannah from It's Time Charity, which supports young adults aged 16–30 who have experienced parental loss. Together, they explore the impact of grief in young adulthood, from missing milestones like graduations, weddings and parenthood, to navigating university life while grieving, and the emotional triggers that resurface over time. They also discuss practical coping strategies, how to support someone who's grieving, the difference between grief and trauma, and why therapy can help even years later. Whether you've lost a parent, are supporting a friend, or work in mental health, this conversation offers comfort, insight and solidarity. #GriefInYoungAdulthood #ParentalLoss #ItsTimeCharity #YoungAdultGrief #MentalHealthSupport #TheAspiringPsychologistPodcast⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Why this episode matters01:11 – Grieving in your 20s: different to older age04:05 – The myth of "being strong" after loss06:28 – Talking grief in inner circles vs with strangers07:31 – When you've lived longer without them than with them10:03 – Parenthood and re-experiencing grief13:28 – Nursery milestones and the absence of photos17:07 – Keeping memories alive through food and traditions19:46 – How to support someone grieving a parent24:40 – Grief anniversaries and meaningful gestures28:03 – Coping strategies, including risks like substances35:18 – The difference between trauma and grief39:02 – Therapy is worth trying more than once40:37 – What It's Time Charity offers43:25 – Where to find It's Time Charity onlineConnect and Follow It's Time Charity here: https://www.itstimecharity.co.ukhttps://www.instagram.com/itstime_charity/https://www.linkedin.com/company/it-s-timecharity/posts/?feedView=allLinks:

In this episode, we're shifting gears from lighthearted storytelling to something much deeper and more personal. I'm opening up about what it's really like to live with the loss of a parent—something I've talked about before, but a topic that deserves continued attention. Grief isn't a one-time experience, and every time I revisit it, new layers come to the surface. We'll talk about the awkwardness that comes with navigating conversations around death, the unexpected jealousy that can arise, the slow and non-linear process of grieving, and how many more holidays, moments, and days are affected than people might think. This is just the beginning of an ongoing conversation, and I hope it brings comfort, connection, or even just a sense of being seen to those who need it.

Whispering through the corridors of memory.

This week 2000 Percent Raise takes a heartfelt turn as we explore the emotional landscape of loss and caregiving with our guests, the host of The Action Junkeez Podcast Jon Orlando, and his friend and Mother's hospice CNA caregiver, Sarena Souza. John anchors a heartfelt discussion that takes a critical look at employee long-term disability plans and hospice benefits. Sarena brings her experiences, providing a window into the realities of hospice care, where patients are cared for during their last six months, and sometimes even longer, as they journey toward transition. Then, the floor opens for personal stories as Jon and John discuss their experiences with losing family members. Jon shares the poignant narrative of his mother's battle with dementia, from memory loss to the fall that left her bed-bound. The group grapples with the pain and guilt that shadow the tough decision of placing a loved one in a care facility, breaking childhood promises in the face of grim practicalities. This episode navigates through the winding paths of John and Jon's personal lives, touching on Jon's relationship with his famous father Tony Orlando, the strain of witnessing his mother's gradual decline, and the contrasting experiences of being mentally prepared for a loved one's passing, or being blindsided by grief. The trio exchange stories of final moments and the bittersweet solace offered by knowing a loved one can still hear their voice at the end. Jon reflects on the tranquility seen on his mother's face during her final moments, crediting the hospice care that provided morphine for peace. Amid these heavy hearts, Jon also reveals the tangled relationships in his family history, including his parents' divorce, reconnecting with his father, and the funny tale involving "The Sopranos" actor Al Sapienza. The episode sheds a unique light on these facets of Jon's life, underscoring the extraordinary people who carved the path before him. Throughout this episode John, Jon, and Sarena touch on universal experiences of loss, caregiving, and the ties that bind us in our most vulnerable times. They wrap up with a nod to the strength and dedication of caregivers everywhere and the undeniable importance of hospice services. This is a raw and honest conversation that's sure to resonate with anyone who's faced the complexities of caring for loved ones as they near the curtain call of life.

They say that by the time he retires, Pat Cummins could be one of Australia's most successful cricket captains. And if 2023 is anything to go by, "they" might be right. Pat captained the team winning The ODI World Cup, The ICC World Test Championship and retaining The Ashes. And individually, he was not only named The ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year, but also signed a record-breaking contract to play in India in the IPL this year. So yeah, Pat wins a lot. But this episode isn't just about cricket. Because as Pat talks about with Hugh, Ryan and Josh, he's lost a lot as well - especially in his personal life. Most notably, Pat tragically lost his mother Maria to cancer last year (2023), which he opens up about here, sharing how important life is outside of cricket - an approach that's trickled through to the entire team. If you love cricket (maybe even as much as Hugh & Josh), or just want to hear how someone deals with struggles while at the top of their game, this is a special episode.

Hello! There is nothing more awakening than the loss of a parent; especially when you have been blind sided by another parent about the death of that parent.  This is my story... Join me on my journey that I will unpack over the next 4 show episodes about the death of my dad, the role my mom played in that death & how it affected me in a deeper journey of healing and compassion.  If you have ever been close to a parent, lost that parent, and then had the other parent turn against you and used that parents death as a 'punishment' towards you, then welcome to this episode of my experience.  If you have been lucky enough to never have experienced what I am about to share with you then consider yourself lucky and enjoy grabbing the wisdoms from my experience for future knowledge.

2023 is nearing its end but our episodes are not. Take a deep breath, it's time for A Mental Health Break with Renzo Del Castillo. Areas discussed include:-overcoming loss and change in relationships-competing with yourself-mental health benefits from traveling -creating a legacy for his family-the mindset needed to transform from childhood obesity to excellent health-being consistent in lifeRenzo Del Castillo was born in Lima, Peru, in 1983, and was educated at the University of Florida, leaving with a B.A. in English, specializing in Victorian Literature, and an M.A. in Mass Communications, specializing in Intercultural Communications. Renzo currently resides in Miami, but he prioritizes traveling to experience and be exposed to the tenets of other cultures. He strongly believes that it is through art that we find the divinity of truth, the pathway of communication with others; and that through this connection we are made whole. About his book Still: Still is a collection of poems that focuses on the immigrant experience: a family's journey from Lima, Peru to Miami, Florida as political refugees and asylum seekers and the impact that had on the life of a boy as he grew into a man. Renzo Del Castillo's poems often reveal larger moral concerns, touching in their language the world of politics and betrayal that cannot help but impose upon the world of private language. There is a lovely and intimate tone, used to remind the reader that imagination triumphs over, or sometimes through, adversity.Have a question for a guest or host?

So it can open the floodgate of complicated and sometimes conflicting emotions.” "Remember, the grief after a parent's death can drain you, but grieving is a normal healthy process. Treat yourself with kindness and compassion as you work through your loss." "Let others comfort you. Friends and loved ones may not fully understand, but their presence can help you feel less alone." "Your feelings may change over time. Grief is a complex journey, and emotions can come and go. Seek support, whether from friends, loved ones, or grief support groups." "Speak up. Talk to your healthcare provider about any new physical or mental health symptoms. Don't hesitate to reach out for support." "Take care of your well-being. Grief often impacts daily life. Keep moving, stay active, and aim for moderation. Embrace fulfilling hobbies and practice self-compassion." "Let yourself fully experience the loss, no matter how long it takes. Remember, there's no single way to grieve, and there's no set amount of time that will automatically make you feel better."
