In this heart-honest solo episode, Angela Vanderpool pulls back the curtain on a topic many try to avoid—grief. But not the kind that shows up only at funerals or after big goodbyes. We're talking about the quiet grief that creeps into birthdays, holidays, and family dinners when someone you love is no longer there—or no longer themselves.

Angela shares personal insight from her 17+ years in senior living and her training as an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist to explore the invisible layers of grief that come with caregiving, dementia, and the slow goodbyes of aging. From awkward birthday cakes to the emptiness of first holidays without Mom’s casserole, this episode reminds us: grief doesn’t show up with a warning—and definitely not wearing a party hat.

Whether you're a daughter, son, spouse, or friend navigating this strange new landscape, this episode offers comfort, validation, and a few gentle laughs along the way.

This episode is especially for:

• Adult children caring for aging parents
• Anyone dealing with ambiguous loss or memory-related decline
• Families navigating holidays after big life changes
• Listeners who need a reminder that they're not alone

Take a deep breath. Grab a tissue. Let’s talk about the grief that shows up where you least expect it—and how we can learn to carry it with compassion.
