Solo Podcast: The wobbly table theory and bedside at death

Published on: 5th July, 2023

Welcome!

Triggers: death/dying discussion

In this episode we talk about the last few years of life for my great-aunt Margie. I go in depth of my experience being at her bedside as she passed, and highlight some of the difficult decision making about that time.

I also touch on my Mom's role in her life, how it grew over time, with a promise to dive deeper in a later episode.

Caveats:

  • This is a judgement free zone
  • There are no "shoulds" allowed, we live in curiosity
  • Take what works well for you, leave the rest!

My course "unSandwiched: 5 steps to managing mental drama about aging parents" goes live on July 20th. Please see the interest list here.

About the Podcast

Real conversations about aging parents
Join me every week for REAL conversations about the ups, downs and sideways of navigating life with aging parents. We focus on mindset, education and collaboration through a willingness to discuss raw stories and all the sticky topics. Cultural pressure? Financial problems? Family dynamics? Fascinating!!
No judgement here. No shoulds. Just a bunch of people figuring this out together.
