He died in the early 2000s - while she was pregnant with her first child. Join me as Nancy shares how it felt being pregnant and flying home for "funerals etc.", how sometimes it's easier just to lie a little, how some deaths - even tragic - can be kinder than others, and why she'll never read or watch Into The Wild.Neurodivergent Insights articles:https://neurodivergentinsights.com/bipolar-and-autism/?srsltid=AfmBOorYhm4vaBfOdmWDyrb6PP1AUG8_vfC20CPfpRpNPQOdTLeb9fhPhttps://neurodivergentinsights.com/autism-adhd-homeostasis/?srsltid=AfmBOop7N_df9FK_tBwGs4u0j5wBqLyPGF8QBf3e-MRWYO7coVAcQcRnFollow the Facebook page for this podcast to stay updated oreven contact me if you'd like to tell me about your person.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587130970607Check my availability and schedule an interview (possiblyeven through video chat for long distance) here:https://calendar.app.google/9TAjRGUkcvNeq4mC9

Episode 4: Lacey and Curt Paul
[Death of brother, drug addiction and overdose] Lacey has a sense of humor that some might find...dark. I find it downright hilarious. And besides, it's HER brother we're talking about, so no judgements. If dead brother jokes aren't for you, maybe just come back in two weeks for the next episode. Curt Paul had a history with addiction that ultimately ended his life. But Lacey finds the good in the bad. Addiction, prison, allowing oneself to drop the worry and finally grieve, ideas for what to do with your loved one's cremated remains, road trips with the dead, this episode has it ALL!She also tolerates the HELICOPTER that flew by while recording, as well as the general calamity that is my household. I try to shut it out, but it always finds a way in.Follow the Facebook page for this podcast to stay updated or even contact me if you'd like to tell me about your person.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587130970607Check my availability and schedule an interview (possibly even through video chat for long distance) here:https://calendar.app.google/9TAjRGUkcvNeq4mC9And give the new playlist a listen!
