In this deeply personal episode, Lee opens up about the sudden loss of his mother in November of last year — a heartbreaking and life-altering experience that no one is ever truly prepared for. Grief is already hard enough, but what many don’t talk about is the overwhelming reality that follows: the unexpected presence of police and coroners in your home, the emotional weight of handling official procedures, closing accounts, and trying to plan a funeral — all while navigating shock and heartbreak.

Lee shares the raw and often uncomfortable moments that come with losing a loved one, especially when there haven’t been open conversations about their final wishes. From the emotional toll to the logistical chaos, this episode is an honest look at the side of grief that goes beyond sadness — into stress, confusion, and trying to keep going when the world feels like it’s stopped.

Whether you're dealing with loss or supporting someone who is, this conversation sheds light on the importance of talking about death, preparing where possible, and seeking support — including therapy — to help process the pain.
