RE-RELEASE CJ & Michael - #FatherlessDaughters Unite

26m · Sorry To Hear That · 13 Jun 11:45

RE-RELEASE

CJ has lost both her parents. In this episode, she talks about her father, Michael, who passed away in July 2013 as she reflects on Father’s Day.

While Michael was not her biological father, he filled a hole in her heart for a very long time and smoothed away at least some of the rough edges. They had a special relationship full of long talks and a lot of time spent together. Unfortunately, after a surprise call, CJ rushed home to be with him, and by the end of the week - he died. Michael had a tragically beautiful death in that he was able to choose what he wanted to do with his last days, and CJ, even still, can reflect on that beauty in the choice.

RE-RELEASE Ansel & Charles - He was a complicated man...

RE-RELEASE
Trigger warning. This episode has some discussion about suicide.
Ansel speaks about his father, Charles, who passed away in 2018 from kidney and heart complications after he stopped taking his medication.
Ansel discusses losing his father, navigating his new normal, and his many struggles with his “grief shroud”, a way to describe the emotions that can come over you while dealing with the loss of a loved one. Ansel recognizes that the condolences and well-wishes were well-meaning, but he wasn’t in a place to receive them. While he also better understands where patience truly comes from - as a parent and going through grief.
When he asked for a sign that his father made it to heaven, he saw a red cardinal that gave him peace. His experience is similar to what Lashelle experienced in Lashelle & Linda.

RE-RELEASE Marcus & Brenda - What would it be like if I still had mom?

RE-RELEASE

Marcus lost his mother, Brenda, right before Christmas of his senior year of high school 17 years ago.

As he has made big choices and little choices, including college, graduate school (twice), ministry, and now in his second church as a pastor - Brenda has missed a lot.

The conversation with Marcus is about grief and loss, but, perhaps more importantly, also about wonder, curiosity, and the big “what if”. What if his mother had been able to see him graduate or become a pastor or preach his first sermon?
