[Episode 97 of The Intentional Clinician Podcast]
Dr. Deirdre Fagan and Paul Krauss MA LPC share a deep and challenging conversation about “death denial society,” honest communication, living with an open heart, surviving existential devastation, grieving, survival, love, morality, and more.
Dr. Deirdre Fagan discusses her experiences dealing with the loss of her entire birth family as well as the agonizing grief of losing her husband Bob to ALS, also known as Lou Gerhig’s Disease.
Deirdre Fagan, D.A., is a widow, wife, mother of two, and associate professor and coordinator of creative writing at Ferris State University. Dr. Fagan, also a divorcee and the sole survivor of her birth family, is the author of the memoir Find a Place for Me. For more information visit deirdrefagan.com
