In this episode, Jeremy and Maddy talk about death in both the literal and metaphorical sense. Your hosts share stories of coping with grief and a sense of longing for the good times they had before the "death" of something and someone close to their hearts. Perhaps this stage of dealing with grief allows for a proper closure of our emotions before we move on to a new season in our life.
