Hi!!!! I am a big fan and I even bought your book. I feel like we have a lot in common, except you have a lot more experience than me. I'm just starting out. I live in AL where you have to go to school and do your two year apprenticeship at the same time so that's what I'm doing. We also have a crematory at our funeral home so I totally get the chapters on starting work at the crematory AND the one on kids. What I really want to know and haven't seemed to get a good answer on, and have no experience with is embalming pregnant women. What do you do at various stages of pregnancy in women that you are embalming? Do you just aspirate and fill the womb with cavity fluid or do you need to do more? I would really appreciate your response. Again, I'm a huge fan. Initially I thought you just wanted attention but I love how you are really bringing what most people consider a taboo subject to light and hopefully encouraging more people to have more to do with their dead.

Do you practice before you record?

Do you actually follow along with the story (for lack of a better word) in your mind when you read or do you focus on the words?

I appreciate your response. I'll continue to just be there for her and hope when she hits bottom it isn't too hard- but hard enough she learns from it.

So if you could help someone look at life the way you do now, without them having to face death, what would you tell them?
