Transcribe →116: Janelle and Her Dad's Journey into a Death Portal... and Came Out Thriving!
Jan 2700:51:41Tap to summarize116: Janelle and Her Dad's Journey into a Death Portal... and Came Out Thriving! Honey, buckle up. This isn't your typical "aww, aging parent" story. This episode is a wild ride through the liminal space between worlds, where Janelle's 95-year-old dad Jack decided to take the scenic route through death's waiting room—and then said "nah, I'm good" and came back thriving. What started as Uncle Jim's passing turned into a 12-day hospital odyssey that had Janelle saying goodbye to her father approximately 47 times (okay, maybe not that many, but who's counting when you're in a death portal?). Between the delirium, the catatonic states, the Catholic prayers, and her dad confessing to crimes that never happened, Janelle got the spiritual initiation she didn't know she signed up for. Along with a nod to Atul Gawande's book, Being Mortal, you'll hear: -Three different states of consciousness (delirious, catatonic, and normal—dad was really showing range) -Medical fraud confessions that weren't actually confessions -A divine denial from rehab that turned out to be the best thing ever -Christmas miracles involving stairs and walkers -The realization that your desires and everyone else's are part of the same cosmic fabric -------------- We're Andrea and Janelle--two midlife mavericks sharing openly about our own experiences--messy AF and no regrets----with marriage, divorce, polyamory and pleasure.
