Grieving My Mom While She's Still Alive

This week’s episode is a deeply personal and emotional look at what it means to grieve someone who is still here. In 2016, Jodi’s mom suffered a massive brain aneurysm that resulted in a stroke and severe brain injury during surgery. Since then, Jodi has taken on the role of caregiver, medical POA, and daughter — all while raising her own kids, managing her marriage, and navigating the pain of watching someone you love slowly disappear.We talk about the heartbreaking role reversal between parent and child, the emotional toll of caregiving, and the moments that still surprise her with both grief and unexpected joy. This is a story about resilience, radical acceptance, and learning to hold joy and sorrow at the same time.To connect with this week’s guest, you can reach out to them through: @bgjodirDon’t forget to subscribe, like, and share to help us continue bringing these stories to light.🔹 New episodes drop every Monday!🔹 Follow us on Instagram: @forthehayters🔹 Submit your story: [email protected]🔹 Grab some merch! beckyhayter.com🔹 A KILLR Network podcast! killrentertainment.comIf you or someone you know needs support, please visit:Family Caregiver Alliance: caregiver.org988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988lifeline.org | Call or text 988The National Stroke Association: stroke.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
