Growing up Catholic, queer, and learning who you are after loss.

from For Love of Memoir · host Erin Swanson

My conversation with Bill Hulseman dives into the heart of his memoir-in-essays, Six to Carry the Casket and One to Say the Mass — a powerful exploration of family, faith, queerness, and the complicated legacies we carry. Bill talks about what it means to grow up in a world that both shapes you and wounds you, and how loss, love, and truth-telling helped him rebuild his sense of self.If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, belonging, or the weight of family storylines you didn’t choose, this episode will meet you right where you are.Follow Bill and buy a copy of his book here: https://www.billhulseman.comIG - @billhulsemanritualsFollow FLOM wherever we go: https://linktr.ee/4LoveofMemoir
