“I can’t believe Daddy’s gone”, is what I found myself thinking just the other day…it made me think of similar expressions in relation to the 5 Stages of Grief. In particular, the 1st stage of grief: Denial.

So, this episode touches on when we say, “I can’t believe they’re gone”. Is it really denial?

Listen and share.
