I Lost My Father at 4. I’m 32 Now — What I’ve Learned About Loss and Grief [Loss & Grief Ep 5]
Description
I lost my father when I was four years old. I’m 32 now.
In this episode, I share what I’ve learned over these 28 years of losing my father at a young age — the realizations, lessons, and moments of healing that have shaped my journey.
Losing him hasn’t been easy. Far from it. And if you’ve lost someone significant in your life, I imagine you understand that kind of pain too.
In the Western world, at least from my experience, there’s a deep mismatch between the depth of grief people carry and how society tends to respond to it.
We often rush past loss, when what it truly needs is space, honesty, and depth
That’s why I dedicated a full series on the podcast of Inner Path Seekers to loss and grief — conversations with people who’ve lost loved ones and with a mental health professional.
