Episode 3 : When You’re the One Left Behind: Grief After Losing a Parent
Guest: Andrew, Board Member and Friend of Compassion Delivered
Host: Amanda Anschutz
What happens when the world keeps moving, but your heart feels stuck?
Board member and longtime friend Andrew joins me for a vulnerable and honest conversation about losing a parent, and what it means to live with the quiet ache of grief that lingers long after the funeral is over.
Together, we talk about:
The often unspoken reality of grieving a parent as an adult
Finding meaning in grief and memory
The importance of community and presence during times of loss
How telling our stories helps us carry forward the love, not just the pain
Why grief isn’t something to “get over” but something to grow with
If you’ve ever experienced the loss of a loved one, are walking through a season of grief, or want to better support someone who is, this conversation is for you.
Compassion Delivered is about stories that heal and connect.
