The first episode in our grief & faith series but ended up being SO MUCH MORE. After a walk across the U.S. for Nuclear Disarmament in 1986, Ben found his passion for advocacy & social justice, specifically, violence against women. He is also a suicide survivor. After losing his dad to suicide, he has volunteered with organizations focused on suicide prevention and helping those who were left behind. We talked about life after death, what it means to be a UU, and you can even expect a Kermit the Frog and Elmo voice impression in this episode!
