Grief

Song & Rants #21 | Mooning & seeing people w/ cover “Glorybound”

June 22, 2022 by Nico Leave a Comment

Did your dad ever moon your friends?
Mine did.
He also did some unbelievably, beautifully powerful, life-changing things that will forever impact hundreds of us.
What is the most important thing that your dad taught you?
I share some of my stories in here along with one of my dad’s favourite Martin Sexton covers “Glorybound”.

If you’re looking to get some help or coaching around the topic of your dad or death or both, please reach out. I know I don’t know your situation or what you’re going through but I believe that if you face your stuff you will be able to walk through it. Book a free 20 minute Chemistry Call HERE.

Song & Rants #19 | Hope & Loss w/ Coldplay cover “Let Somebody Go”

Song & Rants Sylas Nico Boesten Kelowna Life Coach

A little chat with my son (Sylas Boesten) about lessons learned from losing his mama (Ingrid Boesten) to cancer and how to hold hope and loss in the same hand. I also share a story about one of the most beautiful things Ingrid did a couple of months before she died.

At Sylas’s suggestion, I did a cover of the Coldplay song “Let Somebody Go” on the Fender Rhodes. This is a dedication post on the anniversary of Ingrid’s death (Dec. 7, 1972 – May 16, 2014).

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” – Louise Erdrich

Song & Rants #8 | Gifts of Grief w/ Joshua Smith & tune “Waiting on the Day”

January 25, 2021 by Nico Leave a Comment

Have you ever lost something or someone and wondered if you’d ever be able to work through it? How does this work? What is the gift of grief?

These are some of the questions I (Nico Boesten) ask Joshua Smith, a local (Kelowna, BC) singer songwriter and friend who just released an album written about his dad who passed last year. We play a live version of “Waiting on the Day” at the end.

To hear more of Joshua Smith’s music including his latest single: http://joshuasmithsongs.com
