Watching Our Parents Age (Grieving Them While They're Still Here)

As our parents get older, many of us are faced with a new kind of grief- the quiet, ongoing loss that comes not from death, but from watching the people who once raised us begin to slow down and need us in ways they never did before.

In this deeply personal episode, we open up about the emotional complexity of witnessing our parents age. From role reversals and unresolved wounds, to meaningful moments and surprising lessons, we reflect on how our relationships with our parents evolve, and how it stirs up questions of our own mortality.

We explore:

◾The quiet grief of losing parts of who they were
◾The guilt, tenderness, and sometimes resentment of becoming the caretaker
◾How aging parents trigger our own fears about time, mortality, and purpose
◾Ways to heal, connect, and make meaningful memories before it’s too late

This is an episode for anyone navigating that in-between space—where love, loss, and legacy all live at once.

GAY MEN'S BROTHERHOOD:
This is a conscious community for gay men to connect with each other on the journey of healing from shame and becoming more authentic and aligned to their truth. We aim to offer inspiration, support, connection, healing, and a safe space to show up just as you are. Our vision for the members is to learn to feel more comfortable showing up vulnerably so deeper intimacy can be established in our community. We dream of a gay community where everyone can feel more connected to one another in more ways than just superficial and we can feel less lonely and have deeper connections to one another.
