Episode 22: Burt's Story
Manage episode 365331598 series 2914375
Burt lost his mom in 2016 after a 23-month battle with stage IV lung cancer. They traveled as much as possible, enjoyed picnics in the park and maintained healthy eating and exercise habits to keep her as strong as possible before transitioning to pain management. Burt's Take-Away: Being a male in our society I didn't feel that it was okay to cry. This journey has taught me that it's so important to allow those emotions to surface. If you suppress them, they will manifest in unexpected ways. There's no timeline for grief. You need to feel what you feel when you feel it. Allow people in because they are ready to be there for you. When you need them, let them in.
