Incredible. Thank you. I’m grateful to have found this just when I needed it most. I plan to keep relistening daily. Your voice was soothing and your stories of your loved ones, tangible. I look forward to more of your writing. I just lost my dad to a long battle with Alzheimer’s and have been his caretaker after my mom passed suddenly & unexpectedly 3 years ago. She was his North Star. No one in a million years thought for a second that she could pass before him. He left this world when she left. And so his drastic decline began. But I carried on through the depths of his illness taking care of my dad and grieving daily even more for the loss of my dad, the dad standing right in front of me, for every time he lost a skill he once had or a memory he had forgotten, I grieved. I called it rolling grief. It never stopped and up and down we went. But bearing witness to HIS grief of the loss of his soulmate, his wife of 51 years, on repeat, was the hardest. He was stuck in a loop and couldn’t move forward or grieve properly because his illness took that away from him. To him, she had just passed, even if 3 years had gone by, it was new to him every day. And most people tell you to not tell the Alzheimer’s person of their loved one passing, but he was fixated on it. It was impossible to tell him otherwise. If we tried, he got angry and was on to us. He needed to talk about her passing constantly. Which meant constant sadness as well. He was also holding the grief of the loss of his sense of reality both mentally and emotionally. The two had timed out so aligned that he was still aware of his losses well beyond what the doctors expected. It’s been a painful 3 years to say the least and difficult to put into words. One day, I hope to write more about it. So thank you for this. I really needed it.

This was such a peaceful and gradual way for me to grieve. I appreciated and looked forward to each lesson despite the various emotions I felt during this time in my life.

I loved this course. Thank you so much for gifting us with it. I started out listening during mourning for my young son in law. While that grief remains, I am also just beginning to mourn the death of my brother, a few weeks ago. I am sure this course will comfort me as I go through it again.

Good for those grieving; less so for people who want to contemplate their own mortality. The first 2 lessons were only autobiographical talks from the author, which disappointed me since I hipped for guidance and practice.
