[CW for this episode: Suicide, guns] 

Mary and Wyatt give the dogs a couple of calming hemp chews and settle in for a discussion of grief and how you go on living after loss. They tell their own stories of loss and what strategies they discovered for processing the dark, mysterious feeling of grief--and what it means to "process." They also talk about different forms of loss--the death of loved ones, breakups, and trauma. Also on the agenda: a ridiculous new segment called Fantasy Trip Advisor, children who hate their parents so much they chant at them, an excerpt from a novel by Richard Powers, and a poem by Chen Chen.
