Show Summary
In this ghostly episode, I talk about “war, skeletons, cemeteries, and things that go bump in the night.”
Halloween can often seem garish to grievers—a mockery of their pain. I felt that way too, and it took me a couple of years to reach a point where it didn’t bother me as much.
I also share a story about my father and an encounter he had with his mother during WWII. In part, I believe this story shaped how I saw Halloween and even my own grief.
Everyone’s grief journey is unique. With time, meditation, and a willingness to heal, I encourage you to discover new ways of honoring and enjoying this season, perhaps in ways that look different than before.
