(Ep: 98) How Do You Talk About Death? Marcie Vallette Created a Workbook to Help

In this episode, I sit down with Marcie Vallette, a Vermont artist, nurse, and author, to discuss her latest work, Parkinson’s Disease: Comix for Caregivers. Marcie shares her personal journey of caring for her husband with Parkinson’s Disease and how she transformed her experiences into a graphic memoir to support and educate fellow caregivers. We delve into the challenges of caregiving, the therapeutic power of art, and the importance of community and communication in end-of-life care. Marcie also discusses her other works, including Exit Interview and Rama Trauma Trump, highlighting her commitment to using storytelling as a tool for healing and awareness. #MarcieVallette #ComixForCaregivers #ParkinsonsAwareness #GraphicMemoir #CaregivingJourney #ExitInterview #RamaTraumaTrump #ArtAndHealing #StorycomicPresents #EndOfLifeCare #VisualStorytelling #CaregiverSupport #VermontArtist #NurseAuthor #creativehealing  Want to start your own podcast?  Click on the link to get started: https://www.podbean.com/storycomic   Follow us: Are you curious to see the video version of this interview?  It's on our website too! www.storycomic.com www.patreon.com/storycomic www.facebook.com/storycomic1 https://www.instagram.com/storycomic/ For information on being a guest or curious to learn more about Storycomic?
