Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast. Hey it's Delilah.
We talk about grief a lot because I don't think
(00:23):
it's talked about enough in our society. It's kind of
swept aside. You're supposed to get over it. You're supposed
to move on when you've gone through a divorce, or
you've gone through a great loss, or you've lost your
mom or whoever. You're supposed to just suck it up
and get over it. But we don't just get over it,
and so we talk about those things right here. Hi,
(00:47):
good evening. You've called the Delilah Shall Who is this?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Hi, Delilah, This is ed Colin. I talked to you
last week from Flushing, Michigan as one that I met
my wife on a radio dating show.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What can I do for you tonight, my friend?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell you that I was
feeling pretty down that day and just talking to you
really helped, just kind of lifted my skits. And I
know Wednesday's going to be a rough day because it'll
be three months since she passed away. But I'm doing
pretty good, and I just wanted to let you know
(01:27):
that I really did help just talking to you.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm glad. I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Hun anniversaries are the hardest. Birthdays and anniversaries they kill me.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, but birthdays and anniversaries and all that, you know,
it's tough. But I was still in o some forums
at the doctor's office of the day and it was
the first time I had I was confronted with marital
status on that forum, and for some reason, that just
hit me really hard.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, there's going to be a lot of these, especially
with the holidays coming up. I hope you've got family
or friends around you to get you through the holidays.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I've got a lot of friends in that so I
know he'll be rough times, but I'll make it. And
I know she's she's watching from somewhere. Enjoy listening to
your program.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Thank you, honey. You have a good night already.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Hello, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is
on the phone line with me?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Hello, my name is Lindsey.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Hi Lindsey, welcome aboard. How can I make your night better?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, I'm just so excited that I finally got through
to you. Actually, I sent you an email last night,
so funny that I'm getting through to you tonight. But
I am just wondering if you could pick out a song.
Four months ago, I unfortunately lost my father. He passed
(03:08):
away from a brain aneurysm, very unexpectedly. Been very hard,
but so much love and support around my mom and I.
I'm an only child. And just a really cool story
is my very good friend was in the hospital, she
just given birth to her baby boy upstairs while we
(03:31):
were downstairs in the er losing my father. And two
weeks after that, her and her husband asked me to
be the godmother to their little boy. And just the
beautiful things that the advice you give in your words
of wisdom and the songs you pick are just so
(03:52):
touching and inspiring to me, and I just love it.
If you could pick out a special song.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, thank you for all that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I will find a sweet song, a special song, a
song that will bring comfort to your heart and celebrate
the love.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Thank you so so much.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I know your mourning.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I know our society doesn't give us space to mourn,
doesn't honor it. It's like, get up, get over it,
come on, move along, move along. You're like, no, do
you understand I just lost a person that I love
more than life and I can't breathe.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Okay, yeah, but move on, move on?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I know. And you think some days, how can I
get up and go to work? How can I? I mean,
my dad was sixty four, I'm thirty two years old,
and it's just it's just a lot. It's just a lot,
and you don't understand it until you go through it yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Well, I've been through it, and I'm going to say
a prayer that God get you through it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And I'm going to play a song for you and Mama.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I appreciate that so much. Thank you, so so much.
You made my night.

is actually the year anniversary of our mother's death of cancer.
So we're driving through and we just kind of turn
on the radio and heard you.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
So you've never heard me, or your sisters have never
heard me.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
My sisters, I've heard of you, so we actually tuned
into that. But so we tuned into you.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And because because because most chicks have heard of my show, Xavier,
I got you.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Very true.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's it's guys that.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Somehow have missed out on the chick bonding thing.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, and I was the one that called so.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So your mother pass a year ago? What kind of cancer?
Called her?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Home ovarian cancer?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Actually?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
So?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And are you going to have a service or something
in her memory?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
We are doing a memorial out at Yeah, we will
have all of our relatives back. So maybe a good time,
but I mean maybe obviously very hard for all of us.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So you would like a song to honor mom?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, we really didn't have one in mind, but if
you would just love to play one for us, I'm
glad to be great.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Okay. What's your mama's name?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Christine?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Christine?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And how many children are morning? Mama?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Five?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
So big family yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And was your mom the rock that sort of you
all leaned on?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Oh yeah, yep, absolutely foundation of our families.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
So which which one of you is left to carry on?
Which one of you has become sort of the uh,
the new head of the family.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I like to say all of us, but probably my
sister Rachel. You know, I mean, we all try to
live how she lives and live our life to the falls.
I mean, life short, way too short.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Well I am, I am one of four, and my
sister sort of became when our mom passed. We were
much younger, and my sister sort of became the rock
in our family. And it was never something we talked
about or discussed. It was just a role she naturally
stepped into.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep. And Rachel, Rachel is the allest,
so she always kind of filled those shoes. So I
really appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I guess well, I'll find a song to honor and
Mamma God bless you. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Jililah, Hi, good evening. Who is this?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
This is Lynn?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Hi Lynn?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I would like for you to play a song for
my good friend Tammy. She's been my best friend since
college and last week she lost her brother in an accident.
He was trying to save a dog on his way
home from work and have pulled over and got hit
by a truck. And what makes it doubly sad is
that right after we got out of college, she lost
(08:10):
another brother at nineteen in a motorcycle accident, and he
donated his complete organs and had seventy seven people will
benefit from him. And we pray every day that nobody
rejects anything. And I would just like for you to
play a song for her to let her know that
things will get easier and I love her.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Then, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
It was very hard. We've been really close. She came
a year ago when my father passed away. We've just
been really close. And she had called and told me
what happened, and I went after work and when she
told me, you know what, arrangements would be very nice,
very nice young man. And you know, it makes it sad,
(08:56):
but I wanted to let her know that I love
her and God looks over her and everything for a reason.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Well right now, I'm sure her heart is so broken
that the last thing she wants to hear is that
everything's for a reason, because you just can't receive that
when you're in the midst of it. At least I
couldn't when I lost my brother.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Yeah, I think with the organ doon it helps her
because it doesn't mean such a waste of such a
young life.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I will play a song to let her know that,
and to let her know that when she needs to cry,
she can turn to you.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
That's right, a phone call away, and I would go
wherever I need to go to be with her.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
