Death Prattle

We recorded an episode! And the because it turns out taking care of a baby while working full time is brutally hard and turns your brain to mush, Tara forgot to upload it for a month! 

Enjoy this discussion of all the grief stuff that's happened in the last several months!

We're back! This week Tara talks about her birth experience, which did not go as planned (but, spoiler, everything works out in the end).
Content Warning: We do go into a fair bit of detail about a traumatic birth experience.

This week we talk about how Jane the Virgin became one of our favorite depictions of grief and loss of a spouse we've ever seen. Major spoilers for seasons 3 and 4 in our discussion. Plus Tara has had a bananas week and Talcott is finding milestones are passing a little more gently.

Solo episode for Talcott this week while we get back into our regular recording routine. 

This week Talcott talks about taking his third sadness vacation on the anniversary of Val’s death and how what started as a type of escape is becoming an annual tradition. 

Content Note: This weeks episode contains some discussion of pregnancy loss throughout the episode. 

This week we make a special announcement that explains why the episode release has been so weird lately. Tara basically talks at Talcott for 35 minutes about all the feelings she's been feeling about being pregnant after losing her first pregnancy earlier this year. 

We are switching to an every other week schedule for the foreseeable future while Tara adjusts to the growing an entire whole person situation.
