This week Tara struggles with whether or not she should go to the funeral of someone she only kind of knows. We discuss anxiety about grieving wrong, not wanting to hurt people and weird morbid curiosity when someone's cause of death is unknown to us.

This week we remember Zoe the lich cat whose necromancy finally gave out. Talcott talks about making the decision to put down a pet and what those last moments were like. Content warning we do talk about euthanizing a sick animal. It is not graphic but Talcott described the process and some experiences in the room. 

Friend of the show Alan White joins us to talk about how his cancer treatment went, bird people, and experiencing loss when you’re far away from home. 

This week we talk through our plans to try to start capturing some of the instances of mourning in pop culture. Talcott gets to talk about Hallmark Christmas movies and Tara gets to talk about spreadsheets so we are both really in our element.

This week we talk about how podcast homework can make you sad. We also discuss possible reasons for Tara's obsession with time travel and alternate time lines. We get an update on Zoe the lich cat and talk about how Talcott is totally not projecting and everything is definitely totally 100% just about this cat. 

This week we are joined by special guests Katie Ortlip and Jahnna Beecham, authors of Living with Dying: A Complete Guide for Caregivers. We talk about end of life care, how to have tough conversations about death, and whether it's ok to sell your dad's art at a garage sale.
