Episode description

If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble. - Molière The whole reason behind this podcast is the tell my story of how I deal with death, loss, grief and bereavement; specifically the loss of my father when I was still a young child. It is my way of letting go of the things that I had bottled up for so long. But why did I wait so long to get this burden of of my chest? 1. I felt that I would be a burden to others who were also dealing with my fathers' loss. 2. Real men don't cry! 3. I was following the lead of others 4. I didn't want professional help 5. No one would listen to me. I encourage everyone to find someone to talk to about their grief. A priest, rabbi, or whoever the leader of your faith based community might be. A grief counselor or support group. Whatever you do, don't keep it bottled up. It only makes it worse over time.
