Life Interrupted: A Brother’s Legacy Left Behind with Dr. Parul Dua Makkar
Manage episode 383770386 series 3484024
Have you had to cope with grief with no friends or family nearby?
Dr. Parul Dua Makkar has a powerful story of her own. She practices dentistry in Long Island but has global roots in India, the Middle East, and Canada.
But these days, she spends much of her time sharing the story of her younger brother (and only sibling), Dr. Manu Dua. Her life took a turn in 2021 when he succumbed to oral cancer in Canada while she was in the U.S. during pandemic travel restrictions.
While going through the difficulties of the disease, Manu wrote about his beliefs and experiences in his book Life Interrupted. So Parul took it upon herself to finish what he started and help spread her message about oral cancer awareness and prevention. And today, she’s here to share her perspective and Manu’s words with you.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll hear about the progression of Manu’s illness and the grieving process of his family. You’ll also discover some of the words of wisdom Manu left behind and Parul’s last note to her departed younger brother.
