Maternal Filicide part 2

"Home is where the grave is" continues to discuss the topic of death and its inevitability. This episode is part 2 of Maternal Filicide, with some serious topics on how motherhood doesn't quite fit the mold of society's expectations. We'll discuss various contributors to postpartum, along with failed government systems. So, settle in with a loved one for some morbid chats in a comfy and light setting with two best friends who are taking you on their journey to understand that death isn't all that scary. Join us every Monday as we journey through the intriguing customs and rituals of the world and how they care for their dead while learning how we can prepare for the inevitable. Until then, stay alive!

*UPDATE* Henrietta Lacks' name and family are mentioned in this podcast. We want to provide an updated status. As of OCT 15, 2021, the W.H.O. finally recognized Henrieta's contributions and awarded her family the Director General Award. However, the family is still legally fighting the financial injustices they have all endured.
