I lost my father when I was four years old. I’m 32 now.

In this video, I share what I’ve learned after losing my father at a young age — the realizations, lessons, and moments of healing that have shaped my journey.

Losing him hasn’t been easy. Far from it. And if you’ve lost someone significant in your life, I imagine you understand this pain.

In the Western world, at least from my experience, there’s a deep mismatch between the depth of grief people carry and how society tends to respond to it. We often rush past loss, when what it truly needs is space, honesty, and depth.

That’s why I dedicated a full series on the podcast and YouTube channel of Inner Path Seekers to loss and grief — conversations with people who’ve lost loved ones and with a mental health professional. You can find all those episodes listed under “Resources Mentioned.”

In this final episode of the series, I open up about my own story — about what these 28 years have taught me about losing a parent at a young age.

If you’re here, maybe you’ve lost a parent too, or someone else who meant a lot to you. 

I won’t promise this video or episode will suddenly ease all the pain you might be feeling, because it won’t.

But I do sincerely hope that it may offer a small insight, some comfort, and a sense that you’re not alone in your pain.

Others, like you and me, are also walking a similar path of grief. We can choose to walk this path together.
