Best Story

My mother was just buried a few days ago. I’m in the car with my father as he drives, still trying to process her sudden death and the ramifications. Everything is different. It just can’t be real. I felt like I was living in an alternate universe somehow. It’s a beautiful, sunny, August day. I can’t remember where we were going. My mother’s funeral was packed with people, it was standing room only. It was held at our longtime synagogue. At least 300 people came to pay their respects to her and all of us.

My father cocks his head and abruptly says, “I just don’t know where you’ll hold my funeral. If that many people showed up for mom, I can’t imagine how big a place you’ll need for me.”

What? Was I being punk’d? Was this grief talking? Where did this come from?

I share stories about how I discovered my father was a narcissist after my mother's sudden death. It was shocking and I felt lost and confused. My experience has helped me help others.

Origin Story

I love sharing stories of great relationships and toxic people. Once you know how to identify a toxic relationship, you are more prepared and ready to build healthy relationships! Turn your pain into power!
