153 - Lyon Forever: How to live and die | Barbie Herron Conkling

Barbie Herron Conkling has been deeply engulfed in death throughout her life including her inspirational son, Lyon Herron, who died from a 27 year battle with cancer. He embodied this "live life to the fullest" mentality from an early age after being born with a rare genetic mutation called Gardner's Syndrome. Barbie shares incredibly inspiring stories about her son who not only showed how to live but how to die. She continues to honors him today and taught me what a 'living memorial' is and how he was able to leave this world with the people he loved. A truly remarkable story about grief and loss but more about how to live life to the fullest.

Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.   ⁠Follow DEAD Talks Podcast on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok + more⁠ ⁠www.deadtalks.net⁠
