Tim Finkel was 30 years old when he lost his brother Don. He joined me to talk about his life and what it was like losing a brother that early. Right before I posted this episode, I listened to it one more time. After that listen I realized this one was as much about the person who passed as it was about the resilience and strength of the people left behind. Tim shares some great insight into battling through a loss to come out a better person on the other side as well as honoring the resilience of his sister-in-law and her family. It reminded me to remember that after you're gone, your loved ones are going to be ok. That said, Don was surely an amazing brother, son, father, Corvette designer and all around great guy; genuine and always present for those he was with. We definitely lost a good one. The music in this episode is No Hard Feelings by The Avett Brothers. Generally, I enjoy using older songs in the public domain but this is one of my favorite songs about passing on and in addition to being written by a pair of brothers, I felt like it really captured the way it sounds like Don lived his life everyday.
