Today's guest shares three unique and entertaining stories about how death has impacted his life through the loss of three different people. He discusses his evolved belief system and how these deaths (or, haven't) effected those beliefs, a lucid dream experience where his grandfather came to him and we even jump into psychedelics. We had plenty of laughs through all of this despite plenty of deep conversations. In the second half of this episode Garrett shares a very personal traumatic event in his life that has nothing to do with death. Came as a big surprise and his explanation of healing and forgiveness is one we all could take note of.

Mary-Frances O’Connor conducts studies to better understand the grief process both psychologically and physiologically. She is a leader in the field of prolonged grief, a clinical condition in which people do not adjust to the acute feelings of grief and show increases in yearning, avoidance, and rumination. Her work primarily focuses on trying to tease out the mechanisms that cause this ongoing and severe reaction to loss.

Amber Jeffrey from the UK is the founder and host of The Grief Gang Podcast where she also has been on the journey of normalizing grief. She shares her story and what she went through after losing her mother in 2016 to a sudden heart attack. I'm an immediate fan of this woman as she is absolutely hilarious and wonderfully honest.

In her own words: "Fast forward the 3 most turbulent & traumatic years of my life, I'd had enough of bottling up my emotions and feelings when it came to my grief. It was bursting out of me, I needed a release but couldn't find the right resource or outlet to do so. Then it came to me..."If I can't find that voice, then I will be that voice" and The Grief Gang podcast was born."
