Content note: this episode discusses death in detail, including infant and perinatal loss and a reference to suicide. Listener discretion advised.
In this episode of Latter Day Bridge Builders, Mitch, Juliet, and Ashton sit down for one of their most personal conversations yet: death. What did they each believe happened after we die, back when they were fully believing? How has that changed, and did losing that belief change how they grieve?
Juliet shares the experience of caring for her mother through six weeks of home hospice, and her work in high-risk obstetrics, where she cares for grieving families after perinatal loss.
Mitch talks about his years working in healthcare, seeing death up close for the first time, and his own daughter processing her grandfather's death.
Ashton, still active in the church, brings the believer's perspective on grief, hope, and the framing that a good, long life is "graduating" rather than something to mourn.
We dig into questions like:
- Is it possible to stay connected to someone who died without believing they're literally still somewhere?
- Does something have to last forever to matter?
- If there's no afterlife, what actually remains?
