Helena is probably dying. But not according to her husband, Stan, who recently became a Personal Death Healer. You’re welcome, Helena! Their adult children come home to participate in very structured, very important, very Personal Death Healing time. Together, they will heal Helena of death!
There is also a kazoo. It's very important.
