Leave a comment

In Episode 185, I speak with Misti Graham of Nashville, Tennessee, who shares with us her father’s stroke when she was 16 and his death of a massive heart attack when she was 19.

Misti graciously agreed to speak with me about her personal journey through the grieving process, the overwhelming stress and anxiety that came from being caretaker to her mother after her Dad’s death, and her courageous walk to health again after being diagnosed with PTSD.

Watch my conversation with Misti below:

We also spoke about how her mother was never the same after her husband’s death and relied on Misti heavily through her initial grieving process and even later in life.

Misti and I discussed the burden she felt and how it led to anxiety and stress for her.

And she shares some wonderful wisdom at the end for our audience.

Thank you Misti for joining me!

If you’d like to contact Misti who is a Life Coach at InspHERation Coaching simply write her at [email protected].

Much Love to you, Misti!

Additional Notes – Some things that will help along this journey to ease the pain:

If you are having an especially difficult time emotionally, I recommend you speak with a specialist at a hotline near you. Here you will find hotlines all around the world. Trained counselors are there to listen, free of charge, to what’s going on with you. Take advantage of their great kindness. Vent with an objective individual. You don’t have to be ‘suicidal’ to call them, but if you are, that’s the best place to call. Don’t hestitate!

For parents and teens, there is an amazing resource where you can email or text counselors for help at The Boys Town National Hotline! Outstanding assistance for your children and you. You can also dial 988 for assistance.

Visit Julie’s EFT episodes on grief and she will teach you the Emotional Freedom Technique. Her videos calm your spirit and help you release emotional and physical pain as you move forward.

Here are some meditation music to help you rest.

You can order your Bach’s Rescue Remedy from most health food stores, either in person or online. Remember, these do have alcohol in them.

I use the Rescue Remedy 20ml drops but they have spray and other versions which might work better for you. And…they also have products to calm pets, too.

*To find a homeopathic doctor, visit here or here. Many offer phone consultations if you cannot find one in your area. They work with patients around the globe. You can also research in your area of the world.

In Episode 184, I speak with Podcast Maven Line Brunet of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, who shares with us her father’s throat cancer diagnosis when she was 18 and his three-year battle before his death.

Line (pronounced Lynn) graciously discussed her colorful life growing up with her Dad, Lucien, a French Canadian who packed up the family when she was three, purchased a yellow school bus, took out most of the seats, added some of their furniture and drove to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, clear across the country from Ontario.

Young Line Brunet with Dad, Lucien

When Line was 18, her Dad was diagnosed with throat cancer after a lump appeared on his neck.

The next three years were spent working with alternative medicines in an effort to save his life.

Watch my conversation with Line below:

Our time together brought many lovely memories of a man who lived life to the fullest and brought great joy to Line’s life in the short time she had him with her.

We also spoke about her mother’s life and her devotion to Line and her son after her Dad’s death.

To contact Line for assistance with podcasting, visit her website – www.IAmLineBrunet.com or her facebook profile.

Much Love to you, Line!

The Mary Mac Show | Death of a Parent

Leave a comment

In Episode 80, we discuss the challenges we face after the death of a mother, father, stepmother, stepfather, or other individual who raised us and how we can help ourselves during our grieving process.

One of the most difficult deaths to endure in our life will be that of our parent or parents.

We think about it on and off during our life, wondering when and how they will leave us. But when it happens, we are stunned.

If after a long illness, we may have a sense of relief not just that their suffering is ended, but also that we, personally, are now free of the burden of caring for them. And sometimes, that bring guilt with it.

And if there is a sudden death, such as a heart attack, stroke, car accident or other unanticipated death, we are shocked to our core.

Listen in to Episode 80 where I discuss this sorrowful passing of one of the most important figures in your life.

Additional Notes:

Visit Crisis Connections at my website to telephone a trained counselor to speak with whenever you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, frightened, fearful or any host of emotions.

Get my book “Understanding Your Grieving Heart After a Loved One’s Death” to help you learn more about what you’re going through.

Learn the Emotional Freedom Technique here for Stress and Overwhelm. It will soothe you and calm you physically and emotionally. Also spend time in this guided meditation on Self Compassion, which we all need. Dr. Arianna also offers many wonderful tapping and guided-meditations to choose from based upon which is best for you.

You can watch Marissa Peer’s “I Am Enough” meditation.
