Tell Me About Your Person
True stories of loss, grief, and the people we want to remember. Hosted by Mary Bowers - a woman with no appropriate credentials, just a lot of passion and not so many boundaries when it comes to talking about death. Guests tell stories of their dearly (or maybe not so dearly) departed. Family or friend, freshly buried to nearly dust - there is no limit on time or relation when it comes to grief. We chat about the life of their person, because that's what should be remembered. Happy, sad, angry, ambivalent, doesn't matter. Your call. I just want to listen while you tell me about your person.
