Welcome to This Side of the Grass! On this podcast, host Val Amsden seeks to normalize conversations about death and dying, so that we can be prepared for the inevitable: at some point, we will all die. Val will share personal stories and experiences about loss in her life, and will also interview subject matter experts on the complicated, and oftentimes expensive and morbid parts of preparation. “The loss of my mom when I was a young mother, and then the unexpected and tragic death of my brother, opened my eyes to how little most people want to talk about their mortality. But it is so, so important to have these conversations while we can. It’s a gift to our loved ones if we are the first to go, and what a blessing to understand what our loved ones want after they are gone if we are left behind.” – Val Amsden #thisside #thissideofthegrass #thissidepodcast #death #dying #grief #life #hope #passion #purpose #preparation #devinefoxproductions
