Episode 6: Veronique and Ronald...and Veronique

[Death of father, personal near death experience] Veronique's father died in February. It was expected and certainly sad, but the scene was nothing short of beautiful. One reason Veronique is so at peace with his passing is because she has personally seen where he should have gone because she died and came back some years ago.

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.
