Today Jackie and Catherine cover a bittersweet topic. Although death sounds extremely serious (and it is!)... on Gilmore Girls it is often infused with compassion, friendship, sweetness, and humor. Nothing stays too heavy for too long on our favorite Stars Hollow show. 

We explore:

* How did some of the townspeople’s deaths shape important plot points for Lorelai, Rory, Emily, Luke, and others?

* Who rose to the occasion when their family or friends needed support? And who didn’t? 

* What do we love most about how the town of Stars Hollow reacts to its grieving members? 

* And why did Rory cry so much at Stan’s funeral? 

{Note to our beloved townies}: if you’ve recently experienced loss or are feeling heavy grief right now, feel free to skip this one. We’ll always be here for you when you’re ready. If you need something more uplifting, check out Top 10 Fun Musical Moments of Gilmore Girls.

🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table.
