Does Death Change The Way We Live?

A celebrity dies and millions of people who never met them can feel genuine loss. Angela gets it. Samantha is more likely to Google what happened and then move on, which naturally leads to Angela calling her a block of ice.But why do we care?The sisters talk about parasocial relationships, Princess Diana, Nelson Mandela and the strange experience of grieving someone who had no idea you existed. Then the conversation gets closer to home.They talk about losing friends, parents and beloved animals. Angela shares how surviving cancer changed her relationship with death, while Samantha talks about losing a close friend and why grief doesn't always look the way other people expect it to.There are also funeral plans, a Pinterest board, a proposed Last Supper, spontaneous combustion and a surprisingly detailed discussion about how they'd each prefer to die. Because apparently mortality needed production notes.Eventually they land on The Dash: the tiny line between the date we're born and the date we die.We don't know when that second date is coming.Does knowing that change the way we live now?#NotUsPodcast #Grief #CelebrityDeath #ParasocialRelationships #Mortality #LifeAndDeath #Podcast
