Comedian Michael Blaustein joins me this week on The HoneyDew to Highlight the Lowlights of growing up surrounded by death, losing his baby sister to SIDS, and how those experiences shaped his views on family.

Michael shares what it was like having a mom who worked in hospice, including going with her at 2 a.m. to pronounce patients dead.

He also opens up about losing his baby sister to SIDS when she was just months old, the confusion of trying to process that kind of grief as a teenager, and how his family turned their loss into something meaningful by getting involved with a SIDS foundation to honor her memory.

Check Michael out on the road during his tour and check him out on his podcast “Stiff Socks”
