Still Here: Honoring Your Parents Through Loss with Lindsey Larson

from Why Not with Em · host Emily McGhee

Lindsey Larson lost both of her parents within ten months of each other - while raising two small kids, navigating a marriage, and just trying to keep it together. In this episode, we talk about what grief actually looks like from the inside. The clouded memories, the survival mode fitness obsession, the guilt of enjoying a night out while your mom is admitted down the street. The moment a doctor says "two to five years" and everything shifts. How she and her sister divided and conquered without ever having a sit-down conversation about it. And what she wants people to understand about showing up for someone who is grieving - because most of us are getting it wrong.This one is honest, warm, and really human. Grab something cozy. You'll want to sit with this one.
