Letting Them Go
We welcome back Melanie DeMore, consummate musician and death bed midwife. She lost her father and I lost my mother within a few weeks of each other in Fall, 2014, both from pancreatic cancer. Join us for an intimate conversation laced with music about their lives, their deaths and our grief.
If we live long enough, we will all face this moment; letting go of parents. What the relationship was like, how the death unfolded and what we witnessed in them as they faced the final chapter has so much influence on our own shaping of death. Just a few months into our lives as adult orphans, what have we already noticed about this new landscape? As two people who have worked with dying and death for a long time, what does this latest grief feel like?
Perhaps the greatest thing this work teaches is that grief must be experienced, it cannot be avoided. Join us this hour as we explore our own losses together.
