The funeral services industry is one of the places where unsung heroes intersect with families, sometimes in the deepest and hardest moments of their lives.
In this episode of TraumaTies, host and Executive Director of the Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC), Bridgette Stumpf, and co-host, Lindsey Silverberg, Deputy Director at NVRDC, are joined by Janet McGee, a licensed mortician, adjunct instructor, and advocate for furniture tip-over prevention whose 22-month-old son died tragically from a furniture tip-over incident. She is the author of the children’s book, Visiting Ted in Heaven.
Tune in to hear Janet share her deeply personal story and learn about the parent coalition she formed called Parents Against Tip-overs (PAT). Janet also provides her insights on mental health in the mortuary profession and discusses compassion fatigue and burnout.

Brought to you by Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC), TraumaTies: Untangling Societal Harm & Healing After Crime is a podcast that creates space and conversations to dissect the structural and systemic knots that keep us from addressing trauma.
Rooted in a belief that survivors of crime deserve respect for their dignity in the aftermath of victimization, NVRDC seeks to empower survivors by informing them of all of the options available and working to transform existing response systems to be more inclusive of the diverse needs that survivors often have after crime.
NVRDC also provides free, holistic, and comprehensive advocacy, case management, and legal services to victims of all crime types in Washington, DC. Visit our website to learn more about how to access our trauma-informed education training and how to partner with us to expand survivor-defined justice.
