With vulnerability and honesty, I recount the raw experience of visiting my father in the hospital one last time. As I reflect upon those tender moments, I invite my listeners into the hospital room alongside me to be present in this fragile moment. While processing the grief of my beloved mother passing away nine months ago, I share the strength of speaking at my father’s funeral. Throughout this episode, I invite my listeners to join me on my forgiveness journey along with sharing insights into my approach to processing my emotions during this new season of grief.

Tune in to learn how my grief journey opened doors for my growth, the importance of choice during times of grief, and remembering that grief is a process and does not have to be permanent.
