No Girl?

To pass on a piece of dad.

Right.

Hi, Noreen. Nice to meet you. Hello there. I'm glad you finally made it onto the podcast. Exactly, right? Right on. We've wanted you forever.

Absolutely. Forever changed, as they say, never to be the same.

Oh, I wish. In my mind, yes. In your mind. Did I misread something? In her other life. In her other life, yes.

I blogged, but that's about as far as I'd go with that, but...

Yeah. I have a grief blog that I started after I lost my triplets at 22 weeks in 2010. Oh, Maureen. Yeah. Your show has been like a mirror to my life in so many ways I can't even begin to tell you. So, yeah. So I took writing back on because I... Wrote a little bit after my mom passed, but then I kind of gave up on writing for quite a while. And then I got back into it with a grief blog.

And then now I've also started a blog kind of talking about how I'm becoming the person I am now through all of my journeys through my life.

Music plays a big part. I've always been a person that can turn to music, no matter happy, sad, whatever's going on in my life. I'm definitely a music person and that helps cope. And I've also had a lot of people in my life that have had losses. So I kind of have like a kind of a group of us that kind of bond together through grief. So that's helped to not feel alone.

The group... greek group that i belong to online actually was talking about the trailer when it first came out and they were like we're just warning you if it's something that you can handle we think you should but if it's not that kind of a thing and then my sister-in-law called me and she's like you have to watch this She's like, I know it's going to be hard, but you have to watch this trailer.

And as soon as I completely broke and I love Dr. K for that speech in that episode, because that speaks to my entire life. And yeah, I loved it from the beginning. Every episode, I had a box of tissues just in case and got through every season, every episode and loved it. Absolutely loved it. So yes, it was like holding up a mirror to my life.

in all the different characters and all the different experiences. I could see myself. I could see people in my family. I could see other loved ones. It was just, it was incredible. And I thank you guys. I love this podcast for revisiting it. And I love the show every episode, every minute.

And it actually helped my husband as well. I forced him into watching it with me. He works nights. He's a police officer. So he wouldn't be here Tuesday nights. But the next day he would come home and I'd be like, can you watch it with me? Oh. You want to watch it? And it allowed us to speak about things that we weren't able to say to each other prior to that.

And that's incredible and life-changing, actually. Wow. Thank you again for that.

It's on Weebly.com. It's called Life After Death is the grief one. And the other one is Pieces of Me.

My children. Yeah?

I have a 15-year-old. I have twin boys that are 11, and we lost several along the way. Wow.

What are their names?

My daughter is Maggie. She's named after my mom. Okay. And my sons are Joseph and Christian.

No, but strictly Maggie Rose after my mom. Maggie Rose.

And thank you for listening. I love you guys so much. Thank you.

Yeah.
