Ep. 91 | The Art of Explaining Farewells | Mortician Victor M. Sweeney on Fatherhood, Death, Balance

EPISODE SUMMARY

There are a million idioms about death: It's "the only certainty in life." It's "the end of the road." It's "the great equalizer."

But even as adults, death can be impossibly difficult to understand and process, let alone to know the best way to explain death to our kids.

Mortician Victor M. Sweeney joins the conversation to share his wisdom on how to answer our kids' questions, and why it's important to include them and be honest with them rather than try to shield them or protect them from grief.

Stick to the end for a segment on good and bad death scenes in children's movies!

Wherever you listen.
