What are we giving up because we avoid difficult conversations? w/Derek McCormick

Who really likes having difficult conversations? Does anyone actually like talking about subjects like death? But if we can’t talk about the hard things, how do we learn to move on? Derek McCormick, author of “Tea Time with the Reaper” and “Grim’s After Tea Desserts” joins us to talk about how is wife’s illness and death lead him to become an advocate for facing difficult conversations head-on. We break down ways to speak plainly about topics like illness and death, and what can be gained by actually doing it.
