The Hero in the Story You Got This

What could be tougher than anybody leaving this earth too early?
As much as no one ever wishes to have a loved one die, it does happen, and everybody copes differently with the loss. The way we perceive a tragedy like that can really change our life, but the truth is, only time is really going to help heal the wounds we have.
Today, I talk with Harry Morell - a friend of mine, that tragically lost his father in the 9/11 events. At that time, he was only six years old, and the real memories with his dad are few but Harry is lucky to have plenty of stories heard from close people that created a hero image of his father.
Listen to Episode 03 of You Got This! where we discuss the experiences Harry’s been through, as a child and teenager, how his friends were and still are his best support group, and how to act around people that have gone through a tragedy, so that you make sure you don’t hurt them or make them feel uncomfortable.
Some questions I ask:
How did you feel in the first couple of months after losing your father? (01:20)As you were working through things, did you ever have an epiphany that, “Hey, things might be alright! I’m going to work my way through this”? (03:13)Do you feel like your friends, consciously or subconsciously, have played a role in raising you, to an extent? (07:07)What advice would you have for people on how to approach somebody like you? (10:41)What advice would you have for people who have lost their spouses? (15:48)
In this episode, you will learn:
How having a community support group helped Harry and his family cope with the loss. (05:07)One anti-hero in Harry’s story that hurt his feelings when actually the intention was to help him. (08:48)How hearing stories of his dad helped Harry shape his character. (11:26)The ways in which Harry feels his dad close to him, when he’s doing his job. (14:39)How with time, grief turns into inspiration. (17:32)
