In grief, the deepest pain is united with fundamental philosophical questions. What does grief teach us about being human? And can we learn, control, or even optimize the grieving process? Wolfram Eilenberger in conversation with psychologist Verena Kast and philosopher Wilhelm Schmid.

Humans are grieving beings. Especially after the loss of a loved one, a feeling of emptiness, numbness, and meaninglessness sets in. Death is the final frontier that leaves those left behind speechless. How can we learn to cope with finitude and loneliness? What significance do grief and sadness have in a society that strives for happiness and achievement? And how can we support grieving people in their suffering? In conversation with psychotherapist Verena Kast and philosopher Wilhelm Schmid, Wolfram Eilenberger seeks ways to grieve that acknowledges the depth of pain in order to find new meaning in life from within it.
