Welcome to part 2 of Boldly Into the Darkness, with the widowed author of Boldly Into the Darkness Autumn Toelle-Jackson.

We pick up right where we left off from part 1. If you haven't listened to part 1, please do that first otherwise you'll miss a critical part of Autumn's story.

In this episode, we examine self-imposed grief starvation and Autumn's shocking weight loss.

Intimate suicide discussion. Do you have permission to live a life well-lived?

Why killing Grandma is funny.

The crazy giant hole in Autumn's memory.

Autumn discovers a fountain of hope and healing from an often misinterpreted ancient wisdom.

Stupid shyt people say to you.

Why do funeral homes dim the lights?

Why it's okay to be mad at God (only works if you believe in God).  

Is there an easy way to get out of love where everybody ends up being happy with it? And so much more.
