No one wants to be in the dead kids club, but listening to this podcast makes membership feel a bit more fun and a bit less devastating, if that’s even a thing?! So glad my therapist turned me on to this!

The Moshe Kasher episode made me want to convert to Judaism
Finally - someone who dares to talk about grief (and death)

Being a hospice nurse is only sad and lonely - when I am NOT working. I laugh all day with the sick and dying. Other than that - no one else likes to talk about it. I have spent 32 years doing one thing ?and a expert on the field) and have spent my whole career with people that are dying or grieving. I have also spent 32 years having patients and families tell me I should be a “comedian” or ask if I have done stand up. So, you can be funny and still contemplate life that comes with an automatic death. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Ps: I also saw your show 2 weeks ago and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. In fact - every time you looked to your left - I pretty sure you were talking to me because I had a huge grin the whole show. Thank You again :)
Not alone
