I would like to dedicate this podcast to my BFFF (best furry feline friend) Buddy, a short-haired tabby. Yesterday, my partner Curt and I said goodbye to Buddy who gave us eleven years of his life. Truly the best gift we will forever cherish. If you have a pet or have had one, I’m sure you will understand me saying that we rely on our pets to teach us about unconditional love and generosity. If we let them, they can bring out the best in us as human beings.

Being with Buddy as he drew his last breath changed me. Now I look at my life in a slightly different way. LISTEN to two storytellers calling for a more heroic narrative for death which, if we let it, can become a more positive thread that transforms our lives.
