Mecha's job taught her an important lesson about death.

That someone might already be waiting to greet you on the other side.

This happened in Virginia, October 2021.

My name is Edwin.

Here's a true scary story.

A couple months ago I got a job at a retirement home, which was not my first choice of places

to work.

I'm actually a mortuary science student.

And a lot of people think funeral homes are really creepy.

I never really felt that way.

Funeral homes don't bother me.

What that is is basically funeral services.

So my education and degree when I finish it is going to be all about death and dying

and the process of decomposition and a lot of it is about preserving bodies.

And you are involved in a funeral home.

That's the kind of thing that I'll be doing and actually have done as a part of my classes.

Like I said, I'm still a student and I'm a single mom.

So I have to have some kind of income coming in and I live in a really small town and the

local funeral home didn't have any apprenticeships open and I had to find something.

So there were job openings at the retirement home.

So I got the job and I ended up working 116 hours shift a week and that was on Sunday

nights.
