Bryan Jung Reflects on Losing His Dad at Age 11
Manage episode 361831495 series 3471003
I had such a great discussion with Bryan Jung for this episode. Bryan’s dad died when Bryan was just shy of 11 years old. Bryan is in his 20’s now and has started a creative platform, This is Why, which offers people who lost a parent at a young age a place to tell their stories.
Some topics Bryan and I discuss include:
- How his dad was shot by a lawyer going up against him in a court case when Bryan was just 9 years old, and then his dad dying from this shooting when Bryan was nearly 11;
- Grieving while also having to deal with the media attention and legal activity involved;
- Re-grieving as he’s gotten older and been able to process and understand more than he could when he was younger;
- Developing an anxiety disorder in his teen years from this experience;
- Developing empathy and sympathy at a young age;
- Their family getting a puppy at the recommendation of his therapist;
- Getting involved with Camp Erin as a volunteer when he was a young adult; and
- Why he decided to start his creative platform, This is Why.
I hope you enjoy my discussion with Bryan Jung.
