Death of a parent. What to do when a parent dies? What to do when a parent is going to die and you’re only 23 years old? How to handle the prolonged grief? How to live your life as a young 20 something with a dying parent?

I am so honored and excited to share my conversation with Sara Kettering about death, grief, and loss. She was one of my very first life coaching clients and I was on the journey with her and it has been an honor to watch her evolve and I know you will learn so much from her experience.

We will all experience death at some point in our life. As she says “none of us are getting out of this alive.” It’s so true.

In This Episode We Talk About:

Grief and loss
Life coaching and therapy as tools
Death of a parent
Family dynamics
Creating boundaries and decisions
AND SO MUCH MORE
