It's Father's Day, one month after Dad's death
<p>What begins as an ordinary Sunday in Maine turns into an unexpected journey through grief, spirituality, memory, and ritual. A spontaneous visit to a medium at the Temple Heights solstice fair leads to questions about the afterlife, writing, and whether the dead really have anything left to say. There are drum circles, neighborhood conversations, cemetery visits, a stolen bottle of birthday whiskey, Dad's ashes riding shotgun, and a meatball pizza waiting in Camden.</p><p>Along the way, Kristen reflects on father figures, memorials, where the dead live after they're gone, and what it means to spend your first Father's Day as a member of the Dead Dad Club.</p><p>A quiet, funny, wandering dispatch about love, loss, and carrying someone with you long after they've left.</p>

Dispatches from Temple Heights: Dead Dad Club
<p>In the days after her father's death, Kristen discovers that grief isn't always tears. Sometimes it's paperwork, locksmithing, funeral-home visits, Facebook etiquette, warm vodka in plastic cups, and a stubborn hearse that can't quite make it up the driveway.</p><p>As family and friends drift through the house overlooking the Atlantic, the ordinary and the extraordinary collide. A locked roll-top desk finally gives up its secrets. Hospice nurses become quiet heroes. Neighbors appear—or don't. The last blossom falls from the star magnolia tree at the exact moment a life comes to its close.</p><p>Part meditation on mourning, part documentary of what happens after someone dies, this episode explores the strange limbo between death and remembrance, and the unexpected humor, tenderness, and humanity that live there.</p>

Dispatches from Temple Heights: Time of Death - It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere
<p>In this final living chapter of Dispatches from Temple Heights, Kristen records in real time as her father dies at home overlooking the Atlantic. What unfolds is not a dramatic television death, but something quieter, stranger, and more human: hospice phone calls, olives for Coronas, oxygen tubes, morphine, family pacing in the kitchen, and the surreal administrative reality that arrives moments after someone leaves their body.</p><p>With dark humor, tenderness, and documentary immediacy, this episode captures the liminal hours between a person being here—and not being here anymore. It’s about witnessing death for the first time, realizing there is no adult in the room, and discovering that grief can coexist with practical decisions, nausea, laughter, cigarettes, and vodka shots in equal measure.</p><p>Not the final dispatch from Temple Heights—but the final one where Dad is still alive.</p>
