#17 - Anonymous Calls (Grief, Dreams, and the Stories We Carry)

In this episode, two anonymous callers share their perspectives on death, loss, and what might come after. While each conversation is distinct, both explore how personal experiences and beliefs shape our understanding of mortality.

The first caller reflects on a series of traumatic events, including the sudden death of his mother. He discusses how these losses led to a deeper exploration of Buddhism and grief, culminating in the discovery of a mysterious email—apparently sent by his mother—months after her passing. The second caller, a dream therapist, offers insights from over two decades of working with people navigating loss and fear through their dreams. She shares the idea that death may be individualized, meeting each person in a way that reflects their own language, belief system, and emotional state.

Together, these conversations offer thoughtful reflections on grief, healing, and the diverse ways we attempt to make sense of death.

• Personal accounts of loss and healing
