Polly is like any other mother of four adult children in her commitment to their success and happiness. One day her third son went to his parents to tell them he had been misusing opioids for four years, which started a rollercoaster of detox and relapses.
One day he went missing and was found in his car, dead from an overdose of oxycontin laced with fentanyl. Polly talks about how overwhelming a sudden death is, the stigma, guilt, anger, and tremendous grief that affects the entire family. We hope you benefit and learn something new from this interview.

Huntington’s disease is a rare, inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain; it has no cure. It has a broad impact on a person’s ability to function and usually results in movement, thinking (cognitive), and psychiatric disorders. Michael’s wife, Janet, was diagnosed with this disease 12 years ago at age 58 and he has been her care partner ever since. Janet is now receiving hospice support and Michael talks very openly about the challenges of caring for someone with Huntington’s.

We met Noelle a few weeks ago when I interviewed her about caring for her mother with hospice support. Since we last talked to her, her mother died last month after five and a half months in hospice. Nicole describes those five months as a “slow free fall” and her current state of grief as feeling numb.

The death of a parent is a profound loss; both because of the relationship that came before and despite the relationship that came before. Parental loss in midlife may result in lingering feelings of loneliness, raise memories of former losses, remind us of unresolved conflicts, and make us wonder about life’s purpose. In the death of our parents, we start to realize our mortality and lose our perceived buffer from death.

This week we talked to Rae Ramsey a Pet Communicator/Pet Psychic. A person who can perceive information that is unavailable to the normal senses could be considered a psychic.
