TW: Some discussions of addiction
What happens when someone you’re not close to dies… and you’re the one legally responsible?
In this episode, I sit down with Cat, host of Call Her Cat, to talk about the death of her father—whom she was estranged from at the time of his passing. Despite the distance in their relationship, Cat stepped in as his Medical Power of Attorney, made end-of-life decisions, and arranged his funeral.
We explore what it’s like to grieve someone you had a complicated history with. The Love that may have existed. The hurt that definitely did. The expectations from others. And the internal tug-of-war between duty, resentment, tenderness, and relief.
