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.\xa0 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.\xa0 While many of us have heard of a Birth Doula, someone who provides advice, emotional support, and physical comfort to mothers during childbirth, Lauren\u2019s job takes place at the opposite end of life\u2019s journey.\xa0 She gives hope and guidance to those about to pass away and their loved ones in their grief.\xa0 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.\xa0 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\u2019re of a certain age, you\u2019ll be dealing with the imminent departure of your parents or friends.\xa0 While you may not agree with Lauren\u2019s beliefs or assessment of her experiences, we must all admit that we won\u2019t know for sure until our end comes.\xa0 Please join us, Lauren, and our friend Rich Hatem for a discussion on the essential question in life, what happens after we die?\xa0 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?
