A Celebration of Life - Dealing with Grief

When their son Drew was born, weighing in at just over 6 pounds, It was a miracle for his parents Meredith Womble and her husband Anderson,  The doctors had encouraged they terminate Meredith's pregancy at 20 months and said he would likely die before birth. Drew lived 26 days that included a 10 heart surgery in February of this year.  But just a few hours later, his heart, which was too large, gave out.

Meredith will tell you they experienced so many miracles. She got to hold him, take pictures, and for a brief time, be his mom.

Meredith will tell you she is still his mom as she and Anderson try to raise money and awareness of others dealing with heart issues for small children.

Loss and Resilience

Finding your way back

Geoff Hulse. am attorney from Goldsboro and Jim Glasgow, a retired minister from Wilmington talk about loss and what happens when nothing can be fixed.  Jim's wife, at the time of this podcast is gravely ill with cancer and already past the six months her doctors have given her. 

Just over 14 years ago, Geoff who was ill with alcoholism, got into an argument with his brother, also an attorney, who had come to Geoff's house to urge him into treatment.  Geoff blacked out and when he woke up, his brother was dead from a heart attack.

Loss comes to all of us.  But to hear Geoff and Jim tell it, there is hope and resilience for those willing and able to try. It is a soul searching conversation.

Rufus Edmisten on the need for civility in life and politics

In 1973, Rufus was Deputy Counsel for the Senate Watergate Committee, under the leadership of Senator Sam Ervin.  He had a front row seat that summer to history and  a different time in how our leaders conducted themselves during a politcal crisis.

Not long after, Rufus was Attorney General for North Carolina and soon met a 27 year old Attorney General from Arkansas, Bill Clinton.  They became friends, and Rufus tellls some of their stories together.

This podcast is truly about the way we were and the hope we can be that way again.
