Grief Healing and Food (Season Finale)

Auggie at Puesto!

In the aftermath of our son Auggie’s death, we took a few months off from the pod. We are back with a season finale to share with you where we’ve been and how we’ve been doing. We are joined by Auggie’s fiancé Sydnie who is living with us now in Portland. We share news about big life changes and how we’ve been working toward spiritual, emotional and financial emancipation. This is a show in which we process our grief along with you. Part way through we sing a song (The Czars “Paint the Moon”) that we sang when we had a private viewing of Auggie’s body. Maybe off key at times, but from the heart.

We will launch our next season next week. Stay tuned. This will get fun.

Jeff’s first real smile in months as he waits for a big German beer and enjoys the company of the pets, who are now in a pet friendly zone with lots of good places to hang out.

Our weirdness is finally right at home. Sydnie is on her way out on the town with her long-time pet Diva Puff.
