As a small-town funeral director and author of the new book "Now Departing," Victor walks in the world between the living and the dead every single day. He joins Sandra to discuss how this "privileged view" has shaped his practical, yet deeply spiritual, understanding of the afterlife. He describes himself as a natural skeptic but shares the undeniable experiences—like sun breaking through the clouds at the exact moment of a burial—that have convinced him "it's all real."
Victor shares his powerful "origin story" of finding his best friend deceased at age three, and the more recent, devastating loss of his second best friend, Alex, to suicide. He tells a stunning story of the sign he received from Alex immediately after the funeral—a specific, goofy hat that proves, as Victor says, "there are no coincidences." This is a moving conversation that explores the sacred importance of the physical body in grieving, the separation of body and soul, and how openly facing death can help us all "see life a little more brightly."
