In this solo episodes Nicoleta explores the relationship between bereavement and happiness.

Sharing her own experience of a very close family member sudden death, Nicoleta takes you through a number of very important questions:

How do you  move through the shock of a dear person's death?

What it means to lose someone fairly young?

How it feels to find someone you just met died unexpectedly?

What kills us young these post-modern times?

How is bereavement experienced these days and what is its impact on our lives?

Why does grief close us to happiness?  And how do we open up to joy and aliveness again?

Nicoleta asks also a number of existential questions:

Why did that person live?

What was that scope and purpose of that life?

Was it to create something at a physical level and leave behind in the world?

Was it to allow another person to come to life?

Was it to save another person from a hard life?

Was it to take care of others?

Was it to experience something and learn some lessons themselves?

Or perhaps to help others experience something and learn some lessons from them?
