Bonus Supporter's Club Preview Ep 3 - Reflections on Family and Legacy: Confronting Grief

Supporters club preview #3


In this episode I read the other journal entry I made on June 23, 2023 - on the very bad no good day that I had a difficult time grappling with the lack of headway I was making in getting anything on my list of things I was trying to get accomplished with my dad’s memory and legacy
I read the journal entry entitled November 21, 2024 navigating family drama - lessons from my childhood - hidden journal entry June 23, 2023
Im this Blog entry I discuss my process and how I was able to find forgiveness and grace for my stepmother
I address the extra burial plot my dad is buried with and how legally - that has made it increasingly difficult - for me or anyone else to get control of my dad’s plot, headstone, and remains. I talk about the lore and conspiracy theories my dad’s side of the family often discussed around me as child and how confusion and anger reigned supreme around the decision to bury him with an empty plot

I give my dad some of the heat and hold him to task - he was not imperfect and he made some huge life changing decisions that had severe repercussions - not only for his life but for mine, my mother’s, my stepmother’s and all of our families

I talk about the limited amount of concrete memories I have of my dad but speak to the tangible feelings and memories I have of our relationship and connection

I explain the traumatic memory that is associated with the picture of me and my dad kissing - the main image of this episode - a memory that has only resurfaced over the last few years

I finish the episode addressing my current situation and the state of my life - the mess and wreckage created for me by my abusive ex husband and how my family continues to judge me for not just sucking it up and going back to work and how given the current state of affairs we should all give each other a little more grace and understanding
