🖋 Episode Summary:

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Jasmine shares the painful story of discovering her father had been abandoned in a memory care facility without essentials, dignity, or explanation. What unfolds is not just a caregiving journey—but a reckoning with childhood trauma, family betrayal, and the unspoken weight of legacy.

Through her reflections, Jasmine explores grief in real-time: not as a clean-cut process, but as a sacred, soul-stretching experience. Despite fractured relationships and institutional pushback, she chooses to show up for her father—not because he earned it, but because she’s evolved.

This is an episode for anyone navigating complicated family dynamics, caregiving, or healing after abandonment.
