About this episode
In this meandering medicine story, I share about my mama's unexpected death in 2015, the unbelievable coincidence of losing my father-in-law the same way 5 years later, the amazing thing my stepdad did at her memorial service, the worst and best things to say to someone who's lost a loved one, the final gift she gave me after her death, and always remembering that our grief is equal to our love. I love you Mama. I miss you every day. God only knows what I'd be without you. It's all for you.
