71: Can I Love God & My Gay Son Too?

A Mother’s Reckoning: Love, Loss & Repair with Linda Robertson This week, my guest is Linda Robertson. In 2013, Linda wrote a viral essay called Just Because He Breathes about her own role in the death of her gay son, Ryan. Since then, she’s dedicated herself to deep emotional repair — learning from her past, making meaning of it, and helping other parents do the same.
