Fridays with Tab and Chance

Does Death Erase the Trauma They Left Behind?

Episode Summary

This episode, Chance and I are getting into something a lot of people don't talk about — what happens when someone who caused you real trauma, or was absent from your life, passes away? Does their death erase what they did? Do you owe them grief? Do you have to show up? Chance got deeply personal about his absent father and what he imagines he'd truly feel and do if that day came. We also talked about why "don't forget where you came from" gets used as a weapon, Brandy's powerful story about caregiving for a parent who hurt her, and why your healing cannot be attached to an apology you may never receive. New episode every Friday.
