Let’s talk about the thing no one wants to talk about—but everyone feels: grief. In this episode of Middle Age Management, we’re getting real about what it means to lose people (and pets) we love—and what they teach us about living fully while we’re still here.

From the quiet impact of our beloved family cat Bonnie to the larger-than-life legacy of a family friend, Keith, this episode is packed with powerful reflections, unexpected laughter, and soul-stirring moments. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a parent, caring for aging loved ones, or simply feeling the emotional weight of midlife, this conversation is here to remind you: you’re not alone—and your feelings are valid.

We’re diving into:
• The emotional rollercoaster of caregiving and loss
• Why death forces us to re-evaluate what really matters
• How to find meaning, humor, and hope—even in grief
• And why the Sandwich Generation is rewriting what midlife looks like

This is more than just a podcast episode—it’s a love letter to the lessons we carry from those who came before us.
