53, The Biggest Scallywag of Them All

Liz Gleeson remembers thinking to herself that she was eligible for this podcast in March 2021. She lost her father at age 92, and her mother years before this. Liz's father became ill around the time she separated from her husband. She discusses dealing with both these losses and how impactful they were on her life.

Her dad loved gardening, baking apple pies and fixing things. Today, Liz's home is filled with greenery and she doesn't miss an opportunity to shout, "bring me my toolbox!"

Liz's father died during a global pandemic, and Liz talks about navigating a funeral in a lockdown in Ireland. Who do we hold funerals for, anyway? Who's out there? These are just some of the questions we are faced with when a funeral comes with a virtual link.

Liz is the host of the Shapes of Grief Podcast and creator of a grief education program, which is available on her website. She has offered listeners of Parentless Podcast 10% off the program price until December 31, 2021. Sign up now if you've been wanting to stretch yourself and learn more about grief.
