Former ABC7 Chicago Transportation Anchor Roz Varon lost her daughter Sarah a year ago unexpectantly. Mary Howe the wife of my podcast partner lost her husband George recently. Both agreed to discuss the topic of coping with Grief. Most people don't know how to react to someone who's lost a close relative or family member. It's straight-up, informative and transparent conversation on a topic no one wants to talk about.

Roz lost her daughter Sarah a year ago unexpectantly. Mary lost her husband George recently. Both agreed to discuss the topic of coping with Grief and how friends & family can help. Most people don't know how to react to someone who's lost a close relative or family member. It's straight-up, informative and transparent conversation on a topic no one wants to talk about.

Rather than writing a speech for George's Memorial Service, I decided to write and produce a little skit in-line with how I believe George would have acted when he met St. Peter and God at the Pearly gates in Heaven. My recipe for dealing with death & grief has always been to remember the lighter side of that person. The good times and laughter while calling out that person's persona and ideocracies all in good manner. It's not disrespectful, and I do mourn the loss of that friend or relative, but it's how I cope with it. I hope you find this short skit comforting because I believe George would.

This is my first solo podcast since George's passing. I called on a few fan favorites. Gary Pietrucha from Envirosafe Pest Management and a great friend to the show, Duncan Harris from the UK. Gary and Duncan contribute their thoughts about George and a few funny moments.
