In this profoundly moving episode of 'Wellness All Seasons with Mina,' we are honored by the presence of two extraordinary women sharing a deeply personal narrative of loss, love, and life after tragedy. Host Mina Qandar welcomes back Lisa Sugarman to continue the conversation from a previous episode, but this time with a special guest—Lisa's mother, Madam Sandy Gammie.
Together, they peel back the layers of a long-held family secret about Lisa's father's passing and explore the strength it takes to carry such a burden for the sake
of a child's well-being.
From the initial shock of discovering her husband's untimely demise to the poignant decision for an open-casket burial, every moment of this conversation is imbued
with raw emotion and unwavering resilience. Through heartfelt anecdotes and poignant reflections, Lisa and her mother offer a glimpse into the transformative power of truth and the healing journey it sparks.
Amidst the pain and grief, there shines a beacon of hope and inspiration as they navigate through the complexities of loss, love, and life after tragedy. Their unwavering bond serves as a powerful reminder of the redemptive power of
familial love and the enduring strength found in facing adversity head-on.
