I Lost My Dad to Brain Cancer—And I’m Learning to Live With My Grief

from A Place of Yes | A Grief Podcast · host Heather Straughter

Leah Stern was more than just a daughter—she was her dad’s best friend. When he died of glioblastoma, her world broke open. In this emotional and raw conversation, Leah shares how she’s navigating life without him, the jealousy she feels when others still have their dads, and how grief doesn’t always look like tears—it can show up as rage, loneliness, and quiet resentment. This episode explores what it really means to lose a parent before you’re ready.
