Reflecting on Death & Music

This week on the podcast, John and Amy spoke about their experiences and the history of putting together their event Death & Music. The event navigates the delicate intersection of life, loss, and the emotive power of music.  Bagpipes, bands, a string quartet and more made the night special and something John and Amy look forward to every year. John and Amy reflect on their own history of death and grieving, and Amy shares  some recommendations on how to try and cope and move forward when dealing with a passing. She mentions trying to "look up" and remember that death is a shared experience. You truly are not alone. Amy also reminds folks that if you know someone who is dealing with a recent loss, it's great to comfort them but maybe hold on to your own stories of trauma for the first 6 months or so as to not overwhelm them. You are not alone, John, Amy and the whole DR & DJ Team *Reminder: Nothing in this podcast is a substitute for medical or professional advice. Please always consult your doctor.
