In today’s episode of Food for Thought, I’m taking a break from our menopause and wellness series to share something deeply personal.
After my father’s death at age 94, I had the honor of writing and delivering his eulogy. What began as an effort to capture his life in just a few pages became an unexpected reflection on the stories we tell about ourselves and one another, how we remember the people we love, and what it means to live a meaningful life.
I also return to an unfinished podcast episode from years ago about writing your own eulogy, and I share the eulogy I delivered at my father’s funeral.
🎧 Listen to the full episode of Food for Thought, celebrating 20 years of practical inspiration for living compassionately, sustainably, and healthfully.
