Summary
As we age, we also lose our loved ones, that's sadly life! Often losing our parents and siblings, can lead us down on our own morbidity journey. Our guest Valerie VonSobel, a survivor of the Communist era in Hungary, tragically lost her son, mother and husband all at the same period of time and while grieving used her art and love of fashion as healing mechanisms. This is her story of rebuilding her life and being... well, fabulous! She is a work of art herself and at 80+ a much sort after fashion muse and artist.
