This week, Dr. Kevin, Olivia, and Mary Grace wrap up the Death and Dying Series. How can we prepare for our own death, or the death of a loved one? How can we help children when someone they know is dying? Do people suddenly become more self aware when they are told they only have several months to live? What are the things most people regret when their time of death is near? Is death an important tool that allows us to leave out body and come back to experience different incarnations with a clean slate?

Dr Kevin also talks about his experience in helping his father through his final year of life.

This week, Dr. Kevin, Olivia, and Mary Grace take on the topic of murder. When someone in our community is murdered, we are all shocked. But how are those who knew the victim affected? Not only family members, but neighbors, people at work, even people that recognize the victim as someone they’ve seen in the coffee shop or on the bus. Every time a murder happens, it can make hundreds, if not thousands of people feel less safe.

Do some people come into the world with a soul contract to murder or to be murdered? Should their be a death penalty for premeditated murder? Is being sentenced to life in prison insufficient punishment for taking the life of another human being? Listen to Dr. Kevin’s opinion, and see if you agree!

The issue of euthanasia is always controversial. Should a person that is terminally ill be permitted to take their own life? Does knowing that death is an available option make dealing with a declining quality of life easier? Why do some nurses and doctors try to talk patients and their families out of implementing a “Do Not Resuscitate” order? Who gets to decide when it’s time to “pull the plug” when a person is in a coma and the family is divided on the issue? Why can it be so important to have a team of trusted advisers to help us make life and death decisions?

This week, Dr. Kevin, Olivia and Mary Grace take on these issues and more!

Today, Dr. Kevin, Olivia and Mary Grace talk about abortion. It’s always a hot topic that often causes tempers to flare to the boiling point. But instead of looking at abortion as an issue of right vs wrong, Dr. Kevin, Olivia and Mary Grace examine the issues that aren’t often discussed — such as why are so many people that oppose abortion pro-war? What happens to the soul of an aborted fetus? Does a fetus that is aborted always have a soul attached? What happens if the mother has a soul contract to bring a child into the world and breaks it by having an abortion? Is abortion ever a victimless act? Are some abortions merely life lessons for the mother where no child was planning to come into the world? What role should the father have in a woman’s decision to have an abortion? And why is it so important not to play God when a person we know is considering abortion?

Be sure and listen to this eye-opening discussion!

Today, Dr. Kevin, Olivia and Mary Grace talk about suicide. What pushes people to feel that life is not worth living? Why can the idea of death sometimes be so seductive to people that seem to have everything to live for? Can thoughts of suicide mean that something in your life needs to die in order for you to live? And how does a suicide affect those we leave behind?

Dr. Kevin talks about his own attempts at suicide, and lets us know the signs to watch for and how we can help if we think someone we know may be contemplating suicide. Dr. Kevin also talks about his experiences as a medium, and what those who commit suicide experience in the afterlife.

When we keep stuffing all our unhappy emotions in a “junk drawer,” we can eventually reach a point where we encounter what feels like a death of self, or a Dark Night of the Soul. Dr. Kevin talks about an experience he had several years ago when he came to a Dark Night of the Soul where he closed his business, left a long term relationship, and had to exercise for 2 or 3 hours a day to just to release all the suppressed energy. Dr. Kevin, Mary Grace and Olivia talk about the difference between going through a Dark Night of the Soul and sliding into a depression, the importance of remembering that you will be at a better place when a Dark Night of the Soul is over, and how to go about finding help if you need it.

What happens when a dream or passion dies? Does that happen because we have grown tired of it, or allowed someone else to kill it by saying that it isn’t practical enough to deserve our attention? Have we gotten into the habit of postponing our dreams and passions until everyone else in our lives has their needs met or until we become rich or win the lottery? Dr Kevin, Olivia and Mary Grace explain the difference between dreams and passions, why dreams and passions sometimes die or fade away, and how we can find ways of making our lives more fulfilling by turning our passions into our dreams.

Today, Dr Kevin, Olivia and Mary Grace continue their discussion about the death of a relationship and the grieving process that follows. They answer a question from a listener about how well-intended friends can make matters worse by insisting that you take a a quick-fix, “forgive and forget” approach to forgiveness that is common in both Christian and New Age circles. Dr Kevin talks about the importance of finding help from a friend or spiritual counselor who is willing to “get into the hole with you” because they have been there themselves and know the way out. They discuss why we often repeat patterns through our relationships, and how we can break those patterns by examining them, completing our grieving process, and when no energy is left but a little sadness, arriving at the point of true forgiveness.
