In this episode, Jess and her husband, Felipe, sit down for a second interview after grappling with two recent and devastating losses in his family: The passing of his mother, Rosario (age 72) and his brother José (age 40), who both succumbed to COVID-19 within five days of each other.
Recorded exactly one month after they passed, Felipe discusses the very real, very raw range of emotions that he continues to navigate while grieving. They both discuss the rampant misinformation about COVID and the circumstances and choices that led to his family members contracting the virus. But most of all, they visit the lives and legacies of the two souls they've lost and what it means to search for The Good Life in the middle of indescribable loss.
