Tell Me About Your Person

About Tell Me About Your Person

True stories of loss, grief, and the people we want to remember. Hosted by Mary Bowers - a woman with no appropriate credentials, just a lot of passion and not so many boundaries when it comes to talking about death. Guests tell stories of their dearly (or maybe not so dearly) departed. Family or friend, freshly buried to nearly dust - there is no limit on time or relation when it comes to grief. We chat about the life of their person, because that's what should be remembered. Happy, sad, angry, ambivalent, doesn't matter. Your call. I just want to listen while you tell me about your person.

    Episode 4: Lacey and Curt Paul

    [Death of brother, drug addiction and overdose] Lacey has a sense of humor that some might find...dark. I find it downright hilarious. And besides, it's HER brother we're talking about, so no judgements. If dead brother jokes aren't for you, maybe just come back in two weeks for the next episode. Curt Paul had a history with addiction that ultimately ended his life. But Lacey finds the good in the bad. Addiction, prison, allowing oneself to drop the worry and finally grieve, ideas for what to do with your loved one's cremated remains, road trips with the dead, this episode has it ALL! She also tolerates the HELICOPTER that flew by while recording, as well as the general calamity that is my household. I try to shut it out, but it always finds a way in.
