I’m sorry for your loss as well. You’ve found quite a cool way to cope with it!

That’s really interesting!! Honestly, I’d love to have that done to my body. I don’t want to be embalmed or buried in a casket because it feels like a separation from nature. I don’t want a wall between me and rot. Death is the great equalizer. In the great words of Hamlet: Your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service- two dishes, but to one table. That’s the end.

I did this on my clinically “dead” dog and it was successful. Who needs CPR when you’ve got the classic SLAP

Yo! This is really neat! My dad died when I was 15 (cardiac arrest with no clear trigger) and death has fascinated me ever since. I think I’ll give your show a listen!

What’s the most interesting tradition regarding death that you’ve learned about?

We’re taught that death is something to be afraid of, so it’s natural that we try to make bodies look unaffected by it, but that cycle, living, dying, returning to the ground, isn’t so scary. It’s natural. I think a lot of other cultures have a better grasp on that than we do!

Ah! This is the first time I’ve seen a reference to the BG series on Reddit! That’s hella cool! Why’d you decide to get into this line of work?
