Have you lost all of your original family? The family you were born into is your family of origin. My sister in law talks about what it was like to lose hers. She shares the responsibility she felt as each one passed and then the emptiness of being alone. From the loss of her brother, through the soon passing of her dad, this story takes us on the beginning of her grief journey. 
We discuss topics like delayed grief, grieving one's self to death, having to decide to turn off life support, and losing your original family. 
We also delve into what helped and gave hope in this grieving process. 

The next podcast shares the two and half year journey that would follow her dad's death as she cared for her mother with dementia. Be sure to listen to Part 2.
