Ep. 394: Reflections on Losing a Parent
40:56 Share

It’s been almost 2 years since Danny’s mom passed away, and we’ve had some time to reflect on what it means to lose a parent. Grief is complicated and weird and all-consuming and even though so many people have gone through it, there still isn’t a “right” way to experience loss. Life, and especially loss, is never quite what you imagine it would be, and nothing you could ever prepare for. If you’ve lost someone, or will lose someone soon, we see you, we hear you, we’re with you.
