Enjoy this mini episode of DEADTalks, chatting with Blake Kasemeier. In 2018, Blake experienced the heartbreaking loss of his mother due to a short yet intense battle with lung cancer. This event motivated him to embark on a personal journey of reflection, leading to the creation of a profound nine-part podcast series titled "Good Grief." Within this series, Blake eloquently captures the intricate emotional landscape of dealing with loss. Remarkably, even four years after the release of the final episode, the podcast continues to garner hundreds of monthly listeners, serving as a testament to its enduring impact.
Blake Kasemeier skillfully weaves narratives touching upon various themes such as parenthood, the grieving process, the complexities of growing up, and the moments when these aspects intersect. In 2022, Blake expanded his creative reach by sharing his stories on TikTok. What followed was an unexpected and remarkable journey, as he garnered a devoted following from both parents and the children of parents worldwide, solidifying his presence in the hearts and minds of a diverse online audience.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.

It’s interesting because, though I’m not an atheist and I absolutely believe I’m going to see my mom again, it feels so far away when I NEED her now. I’ve actually experienced a lot of the same things in grief that is described here.

About ten or so years ago, I had a NDE with a ruptured appendix. My experience was wired, did not see any of my past on family, I was in a field and free of pain, bliss even. It was in a blink of an eye. The room I was in was cold, but where ever I was a comfortable warm. Was concerned there were no loved ones on the other side, and I didn’t worry about my wife and our daughter. I was an atheistic kind of fellow. But that feeling of being free of worry and pain is addictive.

I've had my own experience and totally understand exactly what you just described however there were many other people I met that I didn't know. Very strange but I felt connected to then somehow. I really believe that whatever you believe before you die is what you experience in the afterlife

He totally explained his beliefs in an amazing way! ❤ However I am a person of strong faith I do respect whatever everyone else believes. Though the people around me I always try to speak on my beliefs but not push it on anyone. ❤

Thanks for providing an atheists perspective! Since my grandfather died around 5 years ago I've had many vivid dreams of him. I remember him with so much love despite his imperfections. As an atheist I don't see any good reason to attribute these dreams as anything supernatural (as a religious person might). But its nice to have my brain remind me of a loved one in such a clear way.

I highly recommend reading philosopher Tom Clark's essay "Death, Nothingness and Subjectivity"... He's an atheist.

I have considered myself atheist. However, I’ve been listening to many people’s accounts of their NDE’s, and these are very compelling stories( many former atheists). ALL of them say “religion” is a man-made system that’s irrelevant to to us as spiritual beings. I pretty much am on board that there’s a collective consciousness / oneness that all makes sense once our bodies die. I have to recommend listening to this stuff.

Discovery: Biblical creation is not the creation of a material universe. The things of creation are metaphors for spiritual nature not material nature. Over time and experience Old Seers have found spiritual interpretations to be correct. Material creation is incorrect. There now exists two distinctly opposing understandings of biblical Creation. No others are possible. The universe contains only 2 things that everything can be derived from, material nature and spiritual nature. No other interpretations are possible but these two

Ok, since you allow only for two things i offer you a choice between two things and no other. (You get what you ask for) a) You can choose the room/reality which allways expells you after some time, no matter what you do, but in that case, you can choose again. b) You can choose the eternal room/reality which you can never escape, no matter what you do, and thus future choices are cancelled. Where are you? What is your preference? Do actuallity and preference coincide? If actuallity and preference do not coincide, what is your explanation? Do you have a choice? Is b) even possible? (why not?) Is b) impossible? (why is it impossible?) In case you see your actuality as b) how come most would disagree? And finally: do you think that your discovery is still important?
