RE-RELEASE<br /><br />Trigger warning. This episode has some discussion about suicide.<br /><br />Ansel speaks about his father, Charles, who passed away in 2018 from kidney and heart complications after he stopped taking his medication.<br /><br />Ansel discusses losing his father, navigating his new normal, and his many struggles with his “grief shroud”, a way to describe the emotions that can come over you while dealing with the loss of a loved one. Ansel recognizes that the condolences and well-wishes were well-meaning, but he wasn’t in a place to receive them. While he also better understands where patience truly comes from - as a parent and going through grief.<br /><br />When he asked for a sign that his father made it to heaven, he saw a red cardinal that gave him peace. His experience is similar to what Lashelle experienced in <i>Lashelle &amp; Linda.</i><br /><br />We welcome your comments and feedback about the episode.
