What do you wish you could say to the loved ones you have lost? While you can’t change what happened while they were alive, this episode will inspire you to share messages with those who have left this world. 

In this episode, I am joined by Corey Dembeck, a local travel journalist and creator of the Telephone of the Wind in the woods of Oregon. The idea for the Telephone of the Wind came from a podcast where he heard about a disconnected rotary telephone installed almost a decade ago in Otsuchi, Japan. After Otsuchi residents suffered from a deadly tsunami, mourners would line up by the hundreds to speak into the phone to their missing loved ones. The Telephone Of The Wind is for everyone who has lost a loved one. The phone is an outlet for those who have messages they wish to share with their lost friends and family.  It is a phone for memories and saying the goodbyes you forgot to say.

Tune in to learn what inspired Corey to create the Telephone of the Wind, the difficult losses in his life, and how the Telephone of the Wind has helped him throughout his own grief recovery.
