Description
Up until recently, when a loved one died, the family would plan a funeral. Family and friends would gather, comfort one another, hug, cry on each other's shoulders and share in the ever-so-crucial grieving process. But COVID-19 has changed all of that. On today's episode of Tuesday People, Mitch Albom welcomes guest, Nora Menkin, Executive Director of the People's Memorial Association and the Co-op Funeral Home in Seattle, WA. Nora discusses how social distancing and the prohibiting of public gatherings has affected the funeral industry and, in turn, how people are able to grieve. With deaths from the coronavirus increasing daily, a new way of memorializing our loved ones will most likely affect you personally in the coming months. This episode is an excellent primer to see where the industry is heading and what you can expect as we all adjust to this new way of living - and dying.

Episode 6 - If You Don't Like The Culture, Don't Buy It: Do you ever feel like the world, the country, your neighborhood and even your workplace, are all going in a cultural direction that you don’t always feel comfortable with? What do you do? How do you buck the trend? How do you go against the tide and stand up without the fear of being ridiculed or made fun of? In today’s episode, we discuss Morrie’s belief that, “If you don’t like the culture, don’t buy it.” It’s as pertinent today as it was when Morrie uttered these words over 20 years ago. From the culture of celebrity we face today, to the obsession with divisive politics, all of these are part of a cultural environment that sometimes we don’t feel we’re a part of. Join Mitch and Lisa to find out how to follow your own heart and stay true to yourself. by Tuesday People
