Episode 10 - It Is Never Too Late: Healing Childhood Trauma at 76

This week we sit down with Kathy Morrison of Campbell River, British Columbia to discuss how the profound loss of her father at the age of four shaped her life in ways she only came to understand decades later. Raised in a family where emotions weren’t openly expressed, Kathy grew up carrying silent fears, unspoken questions, and a deep longing to feel "whole".

Decades later, it was the loss of her beloved dog that opened the door to long-overdue healing—and how hospice grief counseling, mindfulness practices, and community support helped transform her journey. Kathy finally began to process not only her childhood loss, but also the grief of other losses she had experienced over time.

Kathy now advocates for children’s grief support through hospice counseling - raising funds and awareness through cycling in hopes that future generations will have the grief support she wished she'd had at a young age. Kathy's story is a testament to the truth that healing is possible at any age, and that community, movement, and connection can bring meaning to even the deepest sorrow. Her message is simple but powerful: grief needs to be done in community.
