Grieving in Contradictions with Gabi

Gabi lost her dad to cancer when she was 14, after years of watching him go through treatment. Growing up as a military kid, loss was already a familiar presence in her life, but nothing could prepare her for how grief would change her. In this episode, we talk about anticipatory grief, the frustration of being told to "stay strong," and the emotions that come with losing someone over time. Gabi also shares memories of her dad, Julio, a man who lived life with spontaneity, ambition, and an adventurous spirit. This conversation is an honest look at what it means to hold grief, love, anger, and gratitude all at once.
