  Sharing with the Grandkids--Take Me Out to the Ballgame

  Aug 10, 202633 minS3

  In this episode of Sixtysometing , your host, Grace Taylor Segal, recounts taking her three young grandchildren to their first baseball game, an Anaheim Angels game, with her husband Aaron, daughter Juliet, and Aaron’s brother Elliott, staying for postgame fireworks and spending the night at a nearby hotel. Though she worried about meltdowns and attention spans, the kids did great, enjoying snacks, souvenirs, and the overall ballpark experience more than the game itself, and the fireworks captivated everyone. Grace reflects that the day was really about sharing places and experiences tied to family history—Aaron’s childhood memories at Angel Stadium and her own baseball roots with the St. Louis Cardinals—and how grandparents can “open the door” to what they love without pressure. She emphasizes showing up, being flexible about what “success” looks like, starting traditions simply, and not waiting for a perfect time to make memories. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Hey Friends!

  Sixtysomething Season 3, Episode 3 - Mark Died & I Don't Know What to Do

  Jul 6, 202643 minS3

  Sixtysomething Season 3, Episode 3 - Mark Died & I Don't Know What to Do In this episode of Sixtysomething , your host, Grace Taylor Segal, shares this deeply personal story of recently losing her younger brother, Mark, at age 66—and the unexpected emotions that followed. Instead of overwhelming sadness, she found herself living with unanswered questions, complicated memories, unresolved feelings, and a surprising emotional numbness. This isn't an episode about having the perfect ending or finding easy closure. It's about the reality of loving someone with whom you've shared both joy and pain. It's about family relationships that never fit neatly into a box, the difficult conversations that never happened, and learning that grief isn't always what we expect. If you've ever lost someone with whom your relationship was complicated—or if you've wondered whether you're grieving "the right way"—this conversation is for you. Sometimes simply knowing you're not alone is enough. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In This Episode Why grief doesn't always look the way we expect Losing a sibling after a lifetime of shared history The challenge of saying goodbye when relationships are complicated Why death doesn't magically erase old hurts The "loss inside the loss" when closure never comes Feeling numb instead of devastated How family members can mourn the same person in very different ways Learning to remember someone as their whole, imperfect self Finding peace without getting all the answers * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Hey Friends!
