I grew up in an army family, so now that I am older we all settled in different places. it was my mother, father, me and my brother, moving around the world wherever the army ordered us to go. When I got married and had a child, I thought I had all the time in the world to spend with my parents. And my mother died of cancer unexpectedly in 2022. My father is now 70 and often wonder how much time we have left. This makes me want to live closer to him. My brother is another story. I don't know what his deal is, but he seems to be very uninterested in living close to family at all. Either way, I love them all dearly and I understand how short life is. I was widowed myself when I was only 36.

My New Year’s resolution this year is to let people that I love know it. One thing I started doing was to send a hand written letter to people I love every month. That means I send a letter to one of 30 people each day. People love it. It makes me so happy to know I have told my relatives and friends how much they mean to me. To accomplish this, I wrote a list for friends and relatives I love. Then I cut the list names into a drawing list. Each day I sit in my home office first thing in the am. I pull a name out of a small drawer. Write the letter. Then. Put their name into the written drawer. Try it! You will feel so happy. Your friends and relatives will be shocked and feel the love 💗

Mel, this podcast just hits home so much. I empty nested last year and was in the midst of eldercare for my mom last year. I was feeling all the feelings you have described. You really are doing the right thing to make people your priorities. In November, I unexpectedly lost my mother so I am in the midst of grief of the loss of my mother. Your discussion today is so relevant. I am planning her memorial service for the end of the month as she was cremated and we delayed the service. I am going to use several of your quotes and info from the time study in the eulogy I am preparing. I love that you say grief is love not expressed. My mother was always commenting that we were not spending enough time with her. She often said, life is about family and spending time with the ones we love. She had that wisdom and I did try to spend more time with her but often was too busy. Time was complicated for me as I was empty nesting as well as doing the eldercare. I was choosing to spend time with my children and less with my mom because I thought I would have time when the kids were gone. So I can say, make your parents a priority as well. It is a lot to process sending your children on to college and then caring and spending time with your parents. My husband said, "We don't think about our parents not being here anymore as they are the only people who have been with you your whole life." Think about that for a minute! It is so true. When you need your parents they are always there for you and now I understand my mother always wanting to be with us as a parent. I often dismissed it and sadly, we don't realize the gravity of what they say until it is too late. So, everyone, Mel's podcast is so on point! You need to make priorities to be with the people who are important to you! I have been doing that more this year! It makes me happy and I plan to share that message at my mother's eulogy at the end of the month with the other people I love! Thank you, Mel! This is a great podcast! And I want to tell you, I love YOU!!! PS...How can I get a transcript? I don't see that option. I would love to quote you for my mom's eulogy.

Loved this episode! My mom passed away unexpectedly 4 months ago. I’ve had a hard time visiting my dad. All the memories in my childhood home without my mom is SO much to bear so I’ve been avoiding. My dad needs to see me. He needs to see my kids. He needs to know we care. That I care. He’s my main priority now. This episode really gave me the kick in the rear that I needed to stop avoiding my dad. He’s 76! My grief will wax and wane but this ice cube is melting. Probably even faster now.

If you prioritize buying cars with high car payments, buying a home you can’t afford, and registering your kids to play expensive sports then yeah you’ll have to miss a lot because you’ll have to work more. Are you really supporting your family by buying things you can’t afford rather than being there?

I try to live in a way so as to not have regrets. Mom isn’t who I need her to be and I know I’m not what she wished for. It is what it is! But 7 years ago I started texting her goodnight, sweet dreams, I love you, etc and she texts the same to me. Sometimes I’ll send a cute animal video too 😂 I also try to call once or twice a week on my way home from work. She’s in her 80’s now and I’ll miss our nightly texts when that’s over. 😢 But I’ll never regret doing it. That was the hardest part of my dad passing, regret over not taking more initiative. Doesn’t even matter that he didn’t. All I could think about was how I didn’t make more of an effort. Can’t change the past, only the now. ❤

For me, it’s my mom. She is turning 79 and thankfully still quite healthy but I know time is limited. I pray we get to take one more trip too because we both love to travel. She sacrificed so much for me and my siblings and I took it for granted for much of my childhood. I hope we have many happy memories even more so now.

Life gets shorter, so why waste it with the wrong people. Sometimes, people don't have family around. Some are just wrong, being family. Son. Some are controlling and rejecting. Alone is a journey at an older age when the 20s would have seemed better to find oneself. Time. Self-love. Journey and independence at older age. Alone is a choice. Not anything desperate. ❤

I really appreciate your sentiment about it being a decision you are making, not the other party. Combining this with the poem Let Them by Cassie Phillips, if you want to make connecting a priority, you have to do your part such as reach out, make the plans, and be present. But if the other party isn't as interested in either reciprocating or making the best of the time together, let them.

Saying it aloud: like your son, my daughter is also graduating from high school in June. She's not going away for college right away, she's going to be home and go to the local community college to start, but I definitely want to make the most of the summer before she has to start working and get busy with classwork. Also like you, I want to spend more time with my Dad. He is 76 but his health isn't great. I did make it a point to visit him back in March. We both have off on some Fridays but I had medical appointments scheduled on those Fridays off. I am going to try to schedule more "Father Fridays" with him. I also have a friend of almost 30 years I want to get together with. He said he'd be away for work early May but let's put something on the calendar, but he didn't pick a date. So I'm going to contact him after this weekend and see if we can schedule something. I also have another friend I spoke with recently, and we want to have a beach day. I'm going to contact her this week and actually schedule our beach trip ♥

Mel, can you do a podcast or mini series maybe on dealing with estranged adult children? 🤔🤦‍♀️ I'm listening to this and what is so painful is being a grandmother and 2 of my 4 adult children cut me out of their life after their abusive father after going AWOL for a decade while I raised them came back and manipulated them. OF COURSE I HAD TO PLAY BOTH ROLES of course I had to work day and night for my children to have ANYTHING whatsoever, raising four children was extremely difficult yet joyful because my children were my priority...sadly he still is horrible and has not changed of course in order to continue to reflect from his own self I was the perfect target . .. I do not neither have I ever spoke ill of him and at great cost I spent 20 yrs working on myself to heal from 20 yrs of the worst sadistic domestic abuse fathomable YES I MADE MISTAKES AND NEWS FLASH😳 I am human and still will in the future...but it pains me to see how much I love my children and yet I am estranged due to his influence on them

Yes! Mel! Thank you for going here! It IS grief… a constant state of battling the grief of life and all of this, and the battle of trying to remedy that grief when there isn’t a remedy. ❤❤❤ I love you for being so open on this subject.

It all makes perfect sense for people with the ability to try and fit in with one's kids and family. I've been rejected! Great information! ❤ Blessings to all and good luck!

Thank you Mel! This is great! I’ve been the busy working mom, and my oldest son is a sophomore in high school, and I’m feeling everything that you mentioned. As you were talking about, I started creating a weekly appointment in my phone for my son. #meltingIceCube #Time 🫶🏽

Ooof, what if you've only missed out on yourself, and you're grieving a moment for yourself. I feel fortunate to say I haven't missed out on anyone's life, and I perhaps make myself too available. I am still working on asking for my own needs. I also suffer Mom Guilt when I choose me time. I need an episode for mom guilt!

I hear you, but I can't relate to this one. Maybe because, as a reformed people pleaser,, I've had my fill of prioritizing others over myself. I have lost people who don't reciprocate my efforts to stay connected. I'd rather find new connections that can appreciate me. But yeah, effort is needed for those connections that fuel you.

You are right , this important fact is depicted in Quran’s Sura Al-ASR where Allah says “ By time , mankind is in loss, except those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience “ mankind is in loss because we don’t control time.We have to give time to our children, parents and other loved ones to gain salvation.

Lost my dad when I was 20, he was 49 5 years later I lost my only sibling, he was only 18, back in 2014. I became anti family as a defense mechanism I guess, watching this hurts my heart
