Let’s talk
Hi, I’m KT, welcome to my blog and podcast about dead mothers. If you hadn’t already guessed it, my mom is dead. It super sucks that she’s dead, but I guess this was supposed to happen? In this life there are two unequivocal truths; everyone has a mother and everyone will die. So, when life goes according to plan your mother will die, if the plan is going really well then she will die before you die and since you’re not dead yet you just have to deal with it. What’s up with that? All of the coming to terms with how it happened, putting aside the complexities of your relationship to cry and mourn, orchestrating a gathering of sadness for loved ones to attend, and the million other things, it’s bullshit. My mother taught me many things, but how to grieve her death was not one of them and it turns out grief is extremely complicated and often uncomfortable. This brings me to the point of why we are gathered here today, I really want to know; what is your story and how did you deal?
Welcome to the Dead Mothers Club, come and join the fun; listen, read, be a guest on the pod. Reach out via email or voicemail, you can share your story, ask me questions, or both. Please, grant me the opportunity to get to know you and personally welcome each and every one of you to the DMC.
Once this club grows a little bit, it would be great to speak with spiritual leaders about death, psychologists and counselors about grief, and with anyone who has intriguing notions about what happens after we die, how can we cope, and is there any way to prepare? I’m coming at this from a place of 0 religious affiliation, 0 experience with support groups, and a severe lack of therapy. My heart and mind are open, let’s get into it.
