Dealing With My Grief Darwyn M. Dave
-
- Hälsa och motion
My name is Darwyn M. Dave, and I lost my father in April of 1978 when I was just 10 years old. Even though that was a long time ago, I have realized that I'm not "over" his death, but in fact I'm still dealing with it.
I've started the Dealing With My Grief podcast to discuss how I have been coping with grief and bereavement since that time.
It is my hope that in creating this space I am able to connect with others who have lost someone close to them and in some small way help them deal with their pain.

Grief Platitudes Revisited... Where Have I Been
I have returned to podcasting after a long hiatus. While I have had some struggles with my physical health, Im doing well and looking to get better.
I've received a lot of email in the last 6 months and today. I'd like to focus on platitutes and the things that people say when we are grieving. Why aren't they helpful?

Those Who've Been Forgotten In Grief
As we approach Father's day, it dawned on me that during the Mother's Day/Father's Day period there is a certain segment of the grief population that seem sto be totally ignored... that would be parents who have lost children.
I know that people post about loss of all types every day, but during this period I rarely see posts by parents who have lost children but I see a lot of post of individuals mourning their parents.
If you have lost a child, i'd like to know how you cope during this time of year, and what it anything can make this time of year a little easier to cope with.

A Birthday, An American President, and Grief...and Maybe Hope
As I release this episode of the podcast, I am remembering my dad's 86th birthday. It also marks the beginning of my mourning period leading to his death anniversary on the 24th.
As this is the third year I have had to navigate this anniversary without the words of my mother to comfort me, I try looking for other ways to keep from focusing to much on my dad's death anniversary. This year 'm trying to be inspired by others.
Joe Biden went from losing his wife and daughter just before taking office in the U.S. Senate to becoming the President of the United States. I know that we cant compare grief or grief journeys, but I find it inspiring that someone who has gone through so much, could accomplish as much as he has. Sometimes I think I could learn something from the examples set by others.

In Grief, Asking for Help is Still A Struggle
Dealing with recent challenges has forced me to re-examine my relationship with the word "help". Being an only chile, I was "forced" to figure most things on my own. Asking for help was something I didn't do often. If I did I'd ask my mother for help. Now that she's gone, I have other's that I can go to, but for me that is often difficult.
