#5: Death

This week, Lisa and Aimee are anxious about “the big fear:” death, and specifically the death of loved ones. They’re joined by NYU associate chaplain Shaykh Faiyaz Jaffer, who offers wisdom from the Muslim tradition about death and mourning, shares the perspective he’s gained from a year marked by funerals, and gives Lisa and Aimee an assignment to take an unexpected field trip.

Aimee and Lisa are anxious: about germs, about mortality, about the state of the world (and things far less serious, too). Each week they grapple with one of their anxieties, from the trivial to the existential, in a humorous and heartfelt way. They're helped along by smart and entertaining guests like Simon Doonan and Anne Roiphe, who offer advice—and some homework!—for our hosts to overcome their various anxieties.
