Abandoned and alone, I had to wait for my family to call me back. When you’re grieving, you really need a support system, someone that’s going to be there for you and help you through the trauma. My family was not that for me.

In this week's episode, I am sharing about how I was coping with not only grief but also abandonment, what happened before my brother’s celebration of life, and disappointing moments with my mother.

In this episode I’m covering:

  • Abandoned and alone [00:01:00] 
  • Memories of my brother [00:09:30]
  • The parents come back [00:19:15]
  • My friend Caleb [00:22:45]
  • Running errands with my mother [00:26:30]
  • Arriving at the hotel [00:37:25]
  • Picking the urn for the ashes [00:47:30]
