📌 Episode Summary:
In the final installment of Buried Truths: My Father, His Death, and My Healing, I sit with the raw aftermath of my father’s funeral—and the waves of pain that kept crashing long after the casket closed. From facing one of my childhood perpetrators again… to being hit with a possible cancer diagnosis… to watching the dysfunction in my family reemerge right after laying my father to rest—this wasn’t closure. It was confrontation.

This diary entry is messy. Vulnerable. Raging. And sacred.
It’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever tried to grieve while surviving.

✨ Guided Meditation: “I Am the Medicine”
I also include a gentle, 3-minute meditation to ground yourself after listening. It’s a reminder that you’re not broken—you’re becoming.

• Apologies aren’t the same as accountability.
• Boundaries are sacred, especially in grief.
• Sometimes healing means walking away—even from family.

📌 Episode Summary:
I thought I was ready. I thought I had it together. But when the casket closed, so did the lid on a lifetime of suppressed emotions.

In this raw, final walk-through of my father’s funeral, burial, and repass, I open up about grieving in the presence of fake smiles, old predators, and a family name wrapped in complicated love.

From social anxiety to sacred boundaries, this episode is about more than death—it’s about telling the truth, even when no one wants to hear it. And it’s about learning how to release pain without needing permission.

If you've ever buried someone physically while still holding emotional weight, this one’s for you.
