Don't Fear the Reaper

Our delightful friend Patric Richardson, who also owns Mona Williams in the Mall of America, stops by to discuss the tradition of Swedish Death Cleaning. It's hard to get rid of stuff, but it's easier to think about it like curating your own legacy!

Liz was just 31 years old when her husband, Josh, died of a heart attack while running on a treadmill. And that might just be the least interesting part of her story. A former nurse practitioner, Fiedler Mergen reinvented herself as a flower farmer and author. Her book "Flowers Bloom Anyway," is part memoir, part guidebook to living with grief. She's happily remarried now, but her path to getting there was anything but straight.
