BONUS — Sarah Carter (Reflection)

In this bonus reflection episode, I revisit my conversation with Sarah Carter, exploring themes of gratitude, growth through loss, and how our experiences shape us. Sarah's openness about the profound losses in her life—losing both parents and navigating her husband's loss—offers a unique perspective on finding light even in the darkest moments.I share my thoughts on how Sarah's story resonated with me, including the impact of "lowercase d" deaths, the concept of memories that fade with us, and how not having children changes the way we consider our legacies. Sarah's reflections challenge me to think about my own beliefs and anxieties around death and to embrace the urgency of living fully.I also answer a listener question from Annah (Episode #2) about how these interviews have expanded my view of life and living. Through vulnerability and candid conversations, this journey continues to reshape how I approach life and this project.Tune in to reflect with me and discover new insights into life, death, and the spaces in between.List of ResourcesAfter by Bruce GreysonThis episode sponsored by The Deadbook: The Deadbook provides your loved ones with a framework, giving them space to grieve once that day comes.
