Anita and Mel are fascinated with the complex and colorful story of Jozet Richardson Hulley. Jozet's first husband, Lance, had a near-death experience while in a coma.  Lance lived for five years  post-NDE, wrote a book, then died for real. Jozet is remarried and discusses grief, having an alive husband and a dead husband, step-parenting, and how she has chosen to frame her experiences for the past 17 years.
