E176: The shocking loss of a loved one and the practicalities of what to expect with Pat Miles Zimmerman
We are excited to share today’s wonderful guest, Pat Miles, who was one of the Minneapolis region’s premier television news anchors and radio talk hosts. Pat's intelligent reporting and authoritative delivery brought her to the anchor desk of WCCO’s 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM newscasts. She covered every major news event for WCCO TV but was most proud of A Time to Weep, her documentary on the famine in Africa. In 1990, she moved to KARE TV, where she anchored the 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM newscasts and developed A Pat Miles Special, using her writing and interviewing prowess to tell the stories of notable Minnesotans. When she left TV news in 2001, she fulfilled a lifelong dream by becoming the host of The Pat Miles Show weekday mornings on WCCO Radio.
A role model for women in the industry, she has received numerous honors for her work in broadcasting and in the community, including the National Television Academy’s Silver Circle Award.
She is the author of Before All is Said and Done.
In today's episode we discuss:
The shock of loss and what to expect
Planning for a sudden death or a long illness
Facing potential cognitive decline
Finding support and healthy grieving during a complex time
Connecting with ethical and morally sound attorneys/lawyers
Caring for yourself after the loss
This was such a thought provoking conversation and although we may initially shirk away from the notion of our life’s transience, it is powerfully beneficial to ready ourselves and our loved ones for every stage of life — and death. Before All Is Said and Done weaves the definitive path on how to be set for both.
