This month, we're facing fears and dialoging about death with two women who deal with it daily. Elaine has been a licensed funeral director for 16 years and Staci is a medium who contacts spirits of the deceased. (And makes more money than she did in corporate sales!)
We were nervous and excited to welcome these two women to our table for a conversation, especially considering Julie doesn't even like to have items in her home that she knew were previously owned by a person who died. Me? Well, I'm your average "I'd just rather not think about death because when I do I can't really wrap my mind around it" kind of gal.
Needless to say, this conversation drifted into both the lightness and the darkness, and was overall, fascinating for all. We hope it will be for you, too.
