This episode is unlike any we have done and may ever do again. Jimanekia sat down with three of her friends: Hunter, Mel, Sarah, and Jeremy. They talked about what it was like losing their parents and joining what Jimanekia has been referring to as the DPC (Dead Parents Club). It’s about beautiful conversation from 5 different perspectives. This conversation will allow you to see the human side of death and what it looks like when we are still here. What grief looks like, and what it doesn’t look like, and more.
