Episode 36: The Bone Woman and Healing from Loss

Hi, it's me, Fern. I'm finally back. This episode is a little different from my normal ones. Over the course of this last month I've been dealing with the death of my brother, who took his own life. I've been compiling my thoughts on loss and grief and how to heal and the stories that have helped me feel a little peace. I wanted to put it all together into an episode to commemorate him, and also because there may be someone else out there that will find comfort in these stories, too. I'm putting a trigger warning on this episode for discussion of death and suicide. If this is too heavy for you, feel free to skip to the next episode. I understand, completely.
