Post 12: Podcast

I chose this podcast because I'm making a tiny series of people whose funerals/celebrations of life I've attended and this podcast is an interview with a woman whose husband had passed. I thought it was interesting because while her husband is in a coma, she discovers he's had an affair and blown through much of their money. He passes away without ever getting to confront him or talk to him. I think many people believe it is inappropriate to speak ill of the dead, and that when mourning someones death, people always discuss the happy times and admirable qualities they had. It was interesting to hear about someone who had to go through mourning while also dealing with the betrayal. Death must be so much more complex and difficult to deal with when you have so many questions unanswered.
