My dad is dying. He has about a month to live.
I found out on Saturday.

My plan was to launch my first course at the end of November.
I thought about postponing it.
I’ve decided it will go ahead.
I’ll be balancing content creation and providing palliative care.

It will help me process my own grief.
And to stay present.
And to put into practice the material I’ll be sharing:

To find peace in the face of adversity,
To stay connected in the face of death,
And to continue to hold space,
For myself, my father, and the people I choose to serve.

It feels a bit surreal for me.
Launching my first course will only happen one time.
Losing my father will only happen one time.
And they are happening together.
I consider this a sort of serendipity.

The course will have extra material on the father-son relationship.

Originally I left the father-son stuff out.
I thought it was too deep, too much, too soon.
But I’m putting it back in.

I believe it has a huge impact on the emotional development of men.
It helped me more than anything else.

Obviously my father’s care will take priority,
but I will be committed to delivering my offer.
Both the material, and my situation will be confronting.
Which is why I ask that all partipants make an agreement
to practice what they need in terms of self-care.
Myself included.
