Welcome to Bitching & Mourning, the grief podcast that is not going to hold a seance with you. In honor of Halloween, we’re talking about the intersection of grief and the mystical or supernatural: A.K.A. woo-woo shit.

Welcome to Bitching & Mourning, the grief podcast with hosts who live in completely different cities but have finally met each other in person. Today we're about the Chicago End-of-Life Expo, which took place the last weekend of September this year at a venue called Sleeping Village. And we’re not bitching about the event. Quite the opposite! If anything, we’re bitching about how there aren’t more events like this.

Welcome to Bitching & Mourning, the grief podcast that isn’t sponsored by any major funeral companies, so we’re allowed to talk shit. All the money in the mortuary sciences has definitely NOT gone unnoticed by large corporations and private equity, so that's what we're bitching about today.
