In Season 1, Episode 7, Echoes of Silence, of "Growing Older Together," Lourdes talks about coping with the absence of loved ones. She shares her own experience of dealing with the silence that comes after her adult son stopped being a part of her life. She discusses how it changed her and how she's learned to find peace and strength through it. 

Lourdes gives five tips for anyone who is going through something similar, covering everything from allowing yourself to feel your emotions to finding support and rediscovering your interests. The episode invites listeners to share their own experiences with lost connections, aiming to build a community where everyone feels supported. 

There's also a special segment featuring a poem sent in by a listener, showing the power of sharing our stories and creative expressions. Lourdes encourages everyone to send in their own poems, stories, or artwork as a way of coming together and helping each other grow.
