When Bruce Hastie was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, he was told he had 12-15 months left to live. In this episode, host Terra Lopez sits down with her wife, her wife's brothers, and their partners to talk about what it was like to walk through those final months together. They discuss the realities of caring for a dying parent - its challenges, its unexpected joys, and the ways it reshaped their relationships. <br /><br />This episode examines the intricacies, the unanswered questions, and the dark humor that is needed when dealing with the fragility of life, the heaviness of grief and loss and the reality of caring for someone whose time is limited. A story about grief, resilience, and the powerful bonds that form when a family shows up with love at the end of life. <br /><br />Guests: Jake Hastie, Lucas Hastie, Sam Hastie, Kelsie Hastie, Samantha Pfaff-Hastie, Sara Hastie, Izzy Torrez<br /><br /><b>National Resources: </b><br /><a href="https://www.caregiver.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Family Caregiver Alliance </a><br /><a href="https://www.helpguide.org/family/caregiving/family-caregiving" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HelpGuide.org</a><br /><a href="https://www.acapcommunity.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Adult Children of Aging Parents </a><br /><a href="https://www.caregivercalifornia.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">California Caregiver Resource Center </a><br /><br />Follow This Is What It Feels Like on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tiwiflproject/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a><br /><br />Learn more about the podcast at: https://www.feelslikepod.com/<br /><br /><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/this-is-what-it-feels-like--6161095/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/this-is-what-it-feels-like--6161095/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65856327</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 May 2025 15:01:20 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdcn.co/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/65856327/tiwifl_season_2_ep_4_revision_b_master.mp3" length="73169187" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/3109821f-d933-4308-a0fe-c4301d555743/3109821f-d933-4308-a0fe-c4301d555743.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/3109821f-d933-4308-a0fe-c4301d555743/3109821f-d933-4308-a0fe-c4301d555743.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/3109821f-d933-4308-a0fe-c4301d555743/3109821f-d933-4308-a0fe-c4301d555743.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Terra Lopez</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What does it feel like to care for someone you love as they prepare to die?

In a time when America is experiencing a loneliness epidemic, how can friendship endure? In this episode, we sit down with 20 women in their 60s who have been friends since childhood. Together, we explore how they've navigated tough conversations, survived difficult arguments, and built a community rooted in love, trust, and honesty. Their stories offer an intimate and very real look at the work, forgiveness, and deep joy that sustain friendships across a lifetime. Friendship isn't just laughter and good times - it's hard conversations, brutal honesty, and choosing to stay even when it's messy. <br /><br />Guests: Nancy Pierucci-Hastie, Julie Lintz, Lori Uhlig, Christine George, Ruth Lacey, Janice Baker, Kathie Pease, Hilary Bartels, Sue Wessell, Bente Lundh, Anne Kutner-Firestone, Allison Lake, Rachel Robinson Stone, April Long, Linda Ulrich, Donna Perham, Mary Gradinger, Erin Kielty. <br /><br />Resources: https://www.endsocialisolation.org/, https://www.ioaging.org/friendship-line-california/?gad_source=1, https://reengage.org.uk/<br /><br />Follow This Is What It Feels Like on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tiwiflproject/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a><br /><br />Learn more about the podcast at https://www.feelslikepod.com/<br /><br /><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/this-is-what-it-feels-like--6161095/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/this-is-what-it-feels-like--6161095/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65787128</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2025 02:30:32 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdcn.co/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/65787128/tiwifl_season_2_ep_3_revision_f_master.mp3" length="38560913" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/f32902f1-1060-42eb-b3f8-e8cb21ec82ef/f32902f1-1060-42eb-b3f8-e8cb21ec82ef.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/f32902f1-1060-42eb-b3f8-e8cb21ec82ef/f32902f1-1060-42eb-b3f8-e8cb21ec82ef.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/f32902f1-1060-42eb-b3f8-e8cb21ec82ef/f32902f1-1060-42eb-b3f8-e8cb21ec82ef.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Terra Lopez</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What makes friendship last?

We received dozens of stories from listeners who also experienced medical gaslighting from their healthcare providers.

This is an experience Host Terra Lopez is familiar with. She lost her father in 2015. In this episode she searches for healing and meaning with two individuals who have also lost a parent to suicide. Exploring the emotional complexities, guilt and shame, coping mechanisms, and the fear of following in their parent’s footsteps, these conversations shed light on the complexities of grief that follows the loss of a parent to suicide.
