Sam Was Here:  Losing My Son to Addiction

#24 The Disconnect I Feel: Moving Forward is a Decision, Not a Feeling


Listen Later

In today's episode, I discuss how grief makes me feel disconnected in my own life and why podcasting has been a natural and helpful fit for me in moving forward.

I love to talk about the importance of moving forward with our healing but often, I don't feel nearly as inspired as I sound.    It doesn't feel natural to try to heal from losing a child and at times I feel like an imposture with a microphone for even suggesting it,  like I am trying to convince the world to heal in a way that feels impossible for me to do myself.     

The truth is, the number one reason I even have a podcast is not because Sam died, it's because I am a talker with more to say than friends and family to listen.   The second reason I have a podcast is because talking through this tragedy is the only way I know to get through it.   

I am not necessarily further along or stronger than anyone else listening here but I do know what I need to move forward.   Honest and open conversation and a place to talk about my experience.   Thank you for stopping by.
