S8 E3 Grief, Loss, Releasing Sadness, Tears, Anger, and Fear (Solo)
Hi Friends,
This one is a little raw and the audio isn't perfect. But I wanted to reflect on a recent loss and to encourage you to find ways to process your grief when you can.
This one is dedicated to Calvin, a most excellent cat companion who was my friend for 9.5 years. May he be feasting on all the good things in his next life. I'll miss you, buddy.
