a conversation about life + death Death is as sacred a time as birth, but nothing is sacred on this podcast! Whether you're blindsided by loss or are anticipating death, grief is brutal. It's our memories and moments of joy through tears that keep us going. On #dead, our guests share stories of hope. We discuss our heartbreaking and hilarious experiences at end of life, answer questions we wish we had known to ask, and laugh really hard in the hopes of giving others permission to do the same.
