The Business of Death
Kim, regular listener Ron and many others suffered the loss of a loved on this past year. If you are in the group, feel free to call and join us. The fact that grief from loss is a painful ongoing process goes without saying. One aspect not discussed quite as much is the “death business”, from the Dr’s, to mortuary, hospice, to SS, to insurance and much more. I heard things like “We prioritize you and your family’s wishes above all else.” Words like “compassionate, dignified, professional”… That didn’t ring true in practice, but mostly in the brochures and pamphlets. Join us for some harsh realities heaped on the death experience, which adds to the reality of the life experience.

Where Are You Christmas?
This year Christmas is not Merry and Bright for my family. In fact this is perhaps the saddest Christmas I remember. I hear holidays sometimes work out that way.. Life, Death, Illness .. Sometimes even brain injury. I was gone last week. Couldn’t do it. Too much shock then. Now numb and heartbroken. Maybe can’t tonight. One thing I miss is the music right now. The “holidays” since just after Thanksgiving have been a blur for me. I’ll be here playing some holiday music tonight and talking a little bit. If you want to call in, please do. If not, enjoy the music, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
How to Handle the Holidays
Merry and Bright are not always easy constants over the holidays. Bittersweet usually captures us at one point or another in the race from Thanksgiving to the New Year. Revisiting beloved traditions, missing those that are gone. How do you handle the holidays, with the challenge of Brain Injury? Call me & share, and I’ll be breaking out some seasonal tunes. We can do this 🙂 Join me! This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life’s terms.
