[Death of mother as a child, father as adult, husband, cousin/friend; cancer, addiction] Multiple losses over multiple life stages. Carolyn shares how she coped with the death of her mother when she was 11, as well as her father, her husband, and her friend. She shares memories and pieces of them that have stuck with her over the years. She shares the parts of her she tried to hide and the parts she wants everyone to know.

Join us by the lake as we chat in the morning spring sun about life, death, grief, gratitude, and learning to live and love well.

[Death of father, personal near death experience] Veronique's father died in February. It was expected and certainly sad, but the scene was nothing short of beautiful. One reason Veronique is so at peace with his passing is because she has personally seen where he should have gone because she died and came back some years ago.

[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.

[Death of mother] Two sisters share the rough, real, and sometimes ridiculously funny details surrounding their mother's death and their lives through the grieving process.

*Explicit content* includes swearing and mention of adult topics.

First episode is always the roughest, right? I tried. I took a risk and recorded at a gathering - it was a creative choice!
