Summary

http://yourkickasslife.com/155 Today’s episode is a bit different than my usual. I’ve brought on Amy Smith (my best friend and The Joy Junkie) as I tell the story of my father’s terminal illness and death, what it’s been like, and what I’ve learned in the seven months since it’s happened. Amy shares the story of her father’s death too. Amy prompts me to answer the questions of: How has it been doing all of this sober? What has this taught you? I thank you all for listening to this episode-- it was not easy to record, but I’m thankful for Amy for helping me and for all of you for being there. I hope this helps any of you who’ve also loved someone you love, have been through any grief of your own, or to help anyone that will someday walk this same path. Learn more about your ad choices.

1:37.3	very specific reason. And this isn't, this isn't an episode that's cleaned up. And what I mean by that is, is we've left it
1:45.7	mostly unedited because I wanted this episode to be just a real conversation that I'm having
1:53.0	with my best friend. And that's why. So you might hear some long pauses and, um, not really that
