A Grief Journey
This podcast explores my personal grief journey and gives you some of the tools I've used to move through the loss of my partner and parents. While all of us experience grief in our lives, it is a very personal journey. I hope you take a few minutes to share your grief journey with me.

Episode 2
The first year after Terry died, I created a Dia de los Muertos altar in my apartment and added to it throughout the last part of October. It really gave me a sense of peace to see the altar every day in my home office.
In this episode, I discuss the practices associated with Dia de los Muertos with Dr. Regina Marchi, an associate professor of media studies at Rutgers University. She has recently re-released a revised version of her award-winning book Day of the Dead in the USA: The Migration and Transformation of a Cultural Phenomenon.
She offers some tips on how you can create your own altar to commemorate and celebrate your loved one.
