Caregiving, expiry dates on loss and grieving as an ex-pat; with Daniel

WELCOME TO THIS SEASON'S LAST GUEST EPISODE

Daniel has lived a life full of travel, originally from Canada he has lived in Germany, Vietnam, and Hong Kong over the past ten years.

However, a lot of this travel and desire to start his career and live a life similar to his friends was impacted by his Dad’s diagnosis of Stage 4 colon cancer when he was 20, living temporarily in Germany. From here, Daniel travelled back to Canada to continue his education and eventually end up being his Dad’s caregiver a few years later before he passed.

In this episode, Daniel talks about the impact being physically distant from his Dad when he was sick had, balancing his career goals with caregiving, the support he found being in a relationship with someone who has also experienced loss and feeling like there’s an expiry date on his grief - and how often he should talk about it.

Daniel talked about his Dad and his own grief journey beautifully and gave some invaluable insights into how grief isn’t linear at all, and the struggles of balancing everything you want to do with life with spending invaluable time with family.

I hope you enjoy this week’s episode. I’ll be back next week for this season’s final episode to share some exciting news with you, and take you on a journey through the amazing things we’ve learnt together over the past 90 episodes.
