Glenn Loury II – What Death Can Touch

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit glennloury.substack.com In this bonus episode, I sit down with my son, Glenn Cartman Loury II, to talk about the big topics: life, death, and change. This is a heavy, real conversation. We “reminisce” about caring for Linda—my wife and Glenn’s mother—during the final stages of terminal cancer. We talk about who we were then, who we are now, and why we work so hard to change our lives. I’m seeking solace from my son, and true solace can only come from confronting reality, rather than turning away from it and taking refuge in comforting illusions. This episode is available only to full subscribers to my Substack. If you're listening to the full episode, thank you for all your support.
