Listen "Being Open About Death"
Episode Synopsis
In the 70s when my best friend died, I didn't know because it wasn't talked about. This had a lifelong impact on me full of grief and reflection. This is why when Molly died I decided to let all her friends know what was happening and allow anyone who wanted to come and visit. Being open about the process was a way to heal a wound of the past.
