In this heartfelt episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy opens up about her own journey through grief following the death of her father.

These personal stories offer a lifeline for anyone grappling with the dual challenges of grief and sobriety.

She also explores how creating new memories and establishing different kinds of relationships with our departed loved ones can serve as sources of hope and healing. This episode isn't just a guide for those mourning a loss; it's a beacon of light, reminding us all that even in our darkest times, there is a way forward. Whether you're dealing with grief yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find wisdom and solace in these heartfelt discussions.
