Guess Who Died?!
“Guess Who Died?!” It’s the first thing your Aunt Rebecca asks when she calls you, it’s what you text your bestie when your favorite celebrity dies, and it’s the question that hosts Jeff, Julia, and producer K.C. are asking each episode. With a new guest each episode sharing their own experiences of finding healing after loss, and our hosts’ more than two decades of experience in the field of bereavement, this podcast might just be a great companion to someone feeling isolated or alone in their own grief. Listen today to find out “who died?!”
Guess Who Died?!
Val Kilmer & Bob Harmon
Who Died this week? Well, host Julia learns about both the life and death of one Mr. Wink Martindale (what a name!) and we pay homage to the late Val Kilmer. Then, our hosts welcome guest Kate Harmon and her “Bob shirt” to the pod. Kate’s dad Bob (of the aforementioned shirt) was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease over 15 years ago, which kickstarted their family into teaming up with the Michael J. Fox foundation and helping to find a cure. From flying up and down the east coast, to taking charge and making semi-threatening phone calls, Kate has been “on” since her dad’s diagnosis, riding the adrenaline of anticipatory grief. By being given the “gift of goodbye,” Kate found ways to cope throughout her dad’s illness – skills that are still serving her since his death six months ago. But let’s not forget that a big part of healing is finding time to slow down, turn inward, and face your pain. Go Team Fox!
This week we have a brand-new text thread, we talk about post-mortem CGI, the comorbidity of Parkinson’s and dementia, embracing the awkward, the science behind smelling Parkinson’s, and how the glitter of grief can stay on our pants forever.
