Episode Description
Death for all of us is inevitable, unavoidable and the natural process of our life cycle. The thought of it can still be terrifying especially when we think of losing our loved ones. Eventually we all lose someone we love dearly and desperately seek comfort in our grief. There are many who are faced with a terminal diagnosis forcing them to confront their fear of death and mortality. Comfort and meaning is sought. How we view death or the after-life whether it is through our own wishful thinking or religion inclines us towards peace and acceptance. Religion offers the hope for some form of existence beyond our human life. For others view it from a purely scientific basis that we cease to exist. Then there are many who are caught between the two beliefs and struggling to come to a conclusion of what comes after death. How one reconciles with the loss of a loved one or their own terminal diagnosis often leads to more meaning and purpose of life.
