ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this bonus episode, I'm reading a letter sent in by a listener named Kim, written shortly after her father's death. Her dad was a brilliant, complicated man whose life was also shaped by depression and addiction. Kim writes about holding his hand through his final hours, singing him the lullaby her grandmother once sang to her, and discovering that his death became one of the most healing experiences of her life.
This isn't just a story about loss, it's about presence, forgiveness, and the strange grace that can show up at the very end. Thank you, Kim, for trusting us with something so personal. If you've ever loved someone whose struggles made loving them complicated, I hope this offers some comfort.
