#44 I actually googled: ’Are you an orphan if you’re an adult’?; with Nick Cowling - a podcast by Kathryn Hooker

Nick contacted the DPC a while a go on Facebook after searching for some kind of group or information online related to losing both parents as a young adult.
He tells his story about losing his Dad and then his Mum soon after and how his experiences have transformed his negative mindset into a ‘buoyantly optimistic’ one and how losing your parent/s can give you the motivation to want to achieve more in your life!
Nick lives such a full life full of travel and family but acknowledges the loss of his parents and his daily internal questions about whether they’d be happy with the life he’s living now.
He’s also soon to be married so I obviously asked him how he felt about his parents not being there. And, in a very 21st century way, he told me he’s actually slightly relieved as his parents were divorced and he’s missed an awkward situation! The silver linings we find, hey.
Huge thank you to Nick of course for volunteering to come on to the show. You never know who you might help.
