    A mother and son, Lois and Toby. One afternoon. The result is a conversation most families never get around to; an honest conversation about life, death, mental health, and what living a "good life" looks like for them.

  3. Introducing the conversations

    APR 23

    Introducing the conversations

    Over the next few weeks you'll be meeting a bunch of lovely, brave, vulnerable people! Family, friends, romantic partners, and even strangers all spent time exploring what it means to be mortal in this day and age. I wanted to give you a little more detail about the idea, the people involved, and what to expect. As I say in the video, I'm far from a professional videographer. But I did my best to create as professional a show as I could. Please offer me some grace on any audio/video issues that may pop up along the way.  Talking with Mortals is a show about the conversations we don't always make time for (but probably should). Real people, real conversations, sometimes about death and grief, always about what really matters.  🃏 The Memento conversation cards are available at goodmourningsociety.com.

  4. Highschool nihilism & 9/11

    Highschool nihilism & 9/11

    A deeply personal look at another reason why I've gone into death work - the death of a classmate at my high school graduation. This isn't something I've talked about openly before, but I think gives a good idea of why I am the way I am - for better or for worse!

    Death baskets and turtle cremation

    Sarah, Nina, Bob, and Erin are all mortals who sat down an open conversation about what that means. We chat about what the people in our lives think about our fascination with end of life, about what it's like teaching children about mortality, and the difference between dead, Dead, and DEAD.  Talking with Mortals is a show about the conversations we don't always make time for (but probably should).
