Six Days

Episode 15

Thursday, August 22, 2024 • Duration 40:46

A beautiful and deeply moving conversation, this episode is Trudy’s story of losing her husband. For those who are acquainted with grief and for those who’ve yet to face the death of someone they love, this is one crone’s vulnerable recounting of the days leading up to a life changing loss.

Quote from Anne Lamott:

“If you haven’t already, you will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and you never get over the loss of a deeply beloved person. But this is the good news. The person lives forever, in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through, and you learn to dance with the banged-up heart. You dance to the absurdities of life; you dance to the minuet of old friendships.”

In the episode, Trudy mentions that this is the quote they read at a monument near Christchurch in New Zealand. The quote was printed on a temporary sign, which her husband took a picture of.

We found that this quote appears differently across various online posts. We were unable to determine the original text for the quote, and so have shared the one Trudy has come to know from her husband’s photograph.

Finding Purpose

Episode 14

Thursday, August 8, 2024 • Duration 27:07

“Purpose” is an audacious idea that purports to shape our lives. We’re not so sure about that. We put our thinking faces on and take a look at the purpose we decide for ourselves, the purpose others discover in us, and whether this whole “purpose” thing is as singular as we’ve been told.
