Normal people talking about death...which should be normal.

This is the conversation humanity needs right now.
Sure, death is a discussion taking place on other podcasts, maybe even on a more esoteric/academic level or debating belief systems like religion vs atheists and even from the 1st person perspectives of someone dying.
But this podcast is about how we as normal humans experience death second hand through watching someone close to you dying, and how we process and deal with all the emotions and everything else that inevitably confronts during those moments.
And although we are all different and will approach this issue differently...there are more similarities in understanding our mortality than not...and it manifests itself in acceptance and love.
