Like so many stories and people that come our way, this is
another one that seemed to be put in our path by some grander
force for a higher purpose. Recently, Scott and his wife
Emily were out at dinner and struck up a conversation with the
stranger sitting next to them, Lauren Hopper, who told them she
worked as an end-of-life doula. While many of us have heard
of a Birth Doula, someone who provides advice, emotional support,
and physical comfort to mothers during childbirth, Lauren’s job
takes place at the opposite end of life’s journey. She
gives hope and guidance to those about to pass away and their
loved ones in their grief. The conversation between the
three was profound, fascinating, and reassuring to such a degree
that we felt it needed to be shared, and the sooner, the
better. While most of us will never experience the things
we talk about on this show, there is one absolute certainty in
that every one of us will pass eventually, and if you’re of a
certain age, you’ll be dealing with the imminent departure of
your parents or friends. While you may not agree with
Lauren’s beliefs or assessment of her experiences, we must all
admit that we won’t know for sure until our end comes.
Please join us, Lauren, and our friend Rich Hatem for a
discussion on the essential question in life, what happens after
we die? The easiest answer is to believe that nothing
happens, but why not entertain the notion that something
ineffably wonderful does, that no one ever really dies?
