Join me as I welcome authior Michael J. Tucker to the conversation. Among other works, Michael wrote the book Padre, which details his experiences losing his parents and how that event reshaped his life and place in the world. Michael shares his experiences with grief, the impact of his parents on his identity, and the cathartic process of writing Padre.

He discusses the unique challenges faced by Baby Boomers, the different ways people grieve, and how becoming a grandparent has provided him with a new perspective on life. The conversation also touches on the emotional complexities of holidays after loss as well as contemplations of a life after death.
