ÜBER DIESEN PODCAST 🔗
What happens after you lose a parent and life keeps moving? Unparented follows grief into relationships, parenting, work, milestones, and the questions that surface years later.
I’m Robert. My dad died when I was 14 and my mom when I was 26. Through personal stories, research, and guest conversations, we examine what parent loss leaves us carrying, how it changes with us, and what support can still change.

FRÜHERE EPISODEN 🔗
After Alana Michaels’s father died suddenly, she began noticing numbers, songs, and moments that felt deeply connected to him.
Her father, John “Johnny Mikes” Michaels, was a CPA, a devoted grandfather, a long-suffering Jets fan, and the kind of person whose funeral required an overflowing parking …
"I'm so sorry about your parents."
"Thanks. It's okay."
The response comes quickly, even when nothing about the loss feels okay. Sometimes "it is what it is" expresses acceptance. Sometimes it protects a boundary or saves us from explaining our grief in a place that …
A photograph you cannot explain. A question from your child. A small detail about your own life that only your mother or father would have known.
In this episode of Unparented, Robert DelFave explores what happens when the people who remembered your early life are no longer available to answer your…

This episode is different. It's just me.…
This week, I'm talking with Liam J. Wakefield, a psychotherapist, counseling lecturer, and former British Army soldier who's built his entire practice around a question most of us avoid: what happens when the person you were completely falls apart?
Liam lost his mother to abandonment as a child, we…
This week, I'm sitting down with Erica Richmond, a writer, grief guide, and founder of Open Sky Stories. Erica lost her ex-husband to suicide when their kids were just seven and ten. Eleven years later, she lost her dad. She's been living in grief for over a decade and has learned that the only way…
This week, I'm sitting down with Sylvia Wolfer, a grief-informed practitioner who has experienced loss on a level that's hard to wrap your head around. She lost her father at seven. Her younger brother at 17. Her older brother at 40. And then her mother a few years later. From a family of six, only…
