Good Grief Podcast

As a local government department providing death certificates, the Register of Deeds sees the challenges people face when navigating end of life issues. Talking about death can be uncomfortable, but avoiding those conversations can cause harm and confusion down the road. 

In the “Good Grief” podcast series, Jeff and Carly tackle this discomfort head-on by speaking unapologetically about issues of death and dying. Experts join us as guests to answer questions and share a wealth of knowledge with listeners. What was expected to be just a handful of episodes has morphed into over 30 interviews with community and faith leaders, caregivers, healthcare professionals, funeral directors, and so many more. As a local poet and author Catherine S. Buck writes within an untitled poem, "Too soon the years began to fly." We must have these conversations now before the years fly by and miss opportunities to inform our decisions regarding end of life.

New episodes are released at the start of each month, highlighting resources and important documents for our listeners. We hope you’ll join us in exploring these end of life issues and congratulate you on taking this important step to be better prepared!
