In this episode of "Death And," mortician and funeral director Victor M. Sweeney explores the theme of "death and balance," reflecting on the unique challenges that come with working in the death care profession. Victor answers thoughtful listener questions about coping with emotionally heavy cases, the evolving nature of funeral services, and how to maintain a sense of normalcy and connection outside of work. He shares deeply personal stories—from embalming a child close in age to his own son, to the small but significant ways he tries to stay present for his family despite the job’s constant demands. The discussion highlights the idea that compassion and shared inconvenience are at the heart of both grief work and relationships, showing how embracing discomfort can deepen our capacity for love. http://deathandpodcast.com http://youtube.com/@victormsweeney http://instagram.com/victor.m.sweeney http://tiktok.com/@victormsweeney http://x.com/victormsweeney http://simonandschuster.com/books/Now-Departing/Victor-M-Sweeney/9781668062111 Learn more about your ad choices.
