Let us know what you thought of this episode!

I think I’ve watched every Podcast Barbara has done and she’s enthralling every time. She’s such a wise, compassionate woman and her book is extraordinary. She’s an absolutely inspirational person.

This was a very interesting episode. I was only 9 on 9/11, and hearing how people actually died has really humanized the tragedy for me. It was such a galvanizing moment that I never fully appreciated the full devastation of that day.

My husband is a LEO. A Few years ago, his mother died. She had been living out of town with his single sister, and it was unexpected. His sister came home from being out, thought it odd to see lights on, and found her mother who had been alone and vomiting blood before passing away on way to the bathroom. We arrived the following day, and I did bio cleanup because that was the way I thought I could help. His sister and I aren't close, but my heart broke for what she experienced. My husband was aloof, saying about it just being a body. I was shocked and angry. I said to him that despite his experiences, she hasn't walked in to see a dead body before, especially that of her mother. And that when he goes to a scene, he is usually somewhat mentally prepared for possibility... she was just coming home from dinner with friends... a complete shock. Not to mention what her home looked like! I would cry, thinking about how scary and horrible it must have been for his mom. To be all alone. There was guilt because my hubby had become estranged from his mom and I had been trying to mend fences at the time... and it happened around Mother's day. Ffw a few years, and we have a family trauma surrounding my husband and my son... as a result, it was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, and my husband had a breakdown. And one day, he looked at me and said, my mom died. It broke my heart to see the look on his face as he cried. And I will never be able to empathize with the jobs first responders have... but I do think it takes a special kind of person to do what they do, and to remain human. They can only handle so much, and people who judge, need to understand that the box they shove these experiences into, are only so big. IMO, every single person should get counseling, just on how to navigate life experiences... we all have some story, and we all have some sort of trauma and I think if it was normal to process these things, we would be happier and healthier...

David this podcast continues to be so valuable, thank you! Incredible that you got Barbara f-in Butcher to speak! Remarkable lady, fascinating book, what a life she's lived! Don't you wish you could somehow camp out inside someone's head and just explore all the treasure within? Thank you for sharing your insights Ms. Butcher - riveting!

Barbara is such a great speaker! Such great information.

I’m just 3 minutes into the podcast and I LOVE that it is not to much edited! Just a cough from Barbara etc all those little sounds make it so much more relaxing to listen to😊 please never change that! I will get back to listening and watching now 😊❤

My Father’s death certificate shows his cause of death listed as medical misadventure. He wasn’t given oxygen during a surgery. It’s that simple. I lost my 39yo Father at age 21. I’m almost 60 now. Still hard to understand how it happened even though we know all the facts. Some things are just hard.

Thank you for this wonderful, open and deep conversation about what the marvellous people do behind the scenes to work for the victims to gain some answer and help with the grieving process. Barbara F-ing Butcher - you are a gem! ✨️ I resonate alot with your curiosity and ability to discuss the aspects of losing your loved one in tragic circumstances, as so many of my friends dont understand how I can talk so openly about some of the most morbid parts of such a hectic experience. Talking has really changed the way I have chosen to process, react and deal with whats happened to me, my family and the other families that lost their loved ones, and I hope with more conversation, people can find some comfort in using this tool when they are ready. Legend ❤

Barbara fuckin' Butcher, what an icon

When I saw who you were interviewing I subscribed straightaway. Thank you for bringing this amazing career professional (and female pioneer!) to youtube screens. You have made my day. Thanks Barbara!

What an AMAZING woman! ❤

What a woman! My new Heroine! 🇬🇧💜

Wow, wonderful podcast

Absolutely riveting podcast. Both of you. New sub 😘💕

So real,like the talk and nice t see her beauty in life❤❤😢

I feel like knowing how a loved one died is like being able to experience those last moments with them. Most of us hate tbe idea of our loved one dieing alone. Knowing lets you experience it with them in some way.

I love how she has humor about her life

I just discovered these podcasts of yours and I love each and every one of them! I wish I could donate to your station but I'm on a fixed income and always borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. The intent is there and if I ever get any extra money I will definitely donate to your station I love it thank you so much!

6:45 wth or they were training u and or exposing u to desensitize u like I would have to b to do that jobs

Very riveting indeed. Your backwards cap reminds me of hip hop stars trying to be cool.

11:10 Bad time to put you’re subscribe to this page ad.. maybe try putting those after such a tragic story rather then cutting off her story to apply a clout chasing 30 seconds to subscribe. This should be for knowledge… not your personal gain to your channel.

We can thank Trump for the level of craziness. It's like he set a new example of what people can get away with and the level of hate has become a new normal.
