When Dad or Mum Pass Away - Are We Ever Ready?


Listen Later

A very uncomfortable truth and fact is that death is guaranteed for all of us. When a parent suddenly passes away, it is often very difficult to express what that loss feels like because many times we view our parents as indestructible and built to live forever. On this episode, we are joined by a special guest Praise Izinyon who is the president of the Alex & Grace Izinyon Foundation (AGIF) and Femi as they discuss their experience dealing with the loss of their parent. They share their process of grief, regrets they may have had, support for their siblings, and how they tried to support the surviving parent. They open up about the unseen aspects of dealing with this unique process of having to bury the Parent that nurtured and took care of you from birth. One key thing for us to remember is that "you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory". Love and make time for the people in your life because that is one of the best ways to enjoy everyday life especially as we don't know what the future holds.
