Summary
THE MEANING OF LIFE, A DAD’S LAST WORDS – A Ghost Story
“Happiness, success has nothing to do with what you put in your bank – nothing. Success is about whether you enjoyed the journey.” – dying words from a beloved father
Episode Summary:
A super intimate look into the final hours of an adored and respected father. As told by a daughter sitting bedside, this heart wrenching and beautiful episode includes recorded messages of his dying words, about the meaning of life and what sounds like an out of body experience. The lively, close, authentic and loving relationships they shared comes through loud and clear. Before he died, his daughters told him exactly how much he meant to them, how much they loved him, how much they were going to miss him – and thanked him for being the best dad ever.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the space between podcast. |
| 0:08.6 | I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and medium and here we explore life, death, consciousness, |
| 0:15.1 | and what it all means. |
| 0:17.2 | Today I have this month's ghost story and in this ghost story, we actually have live recordings from one of the members of our listening communities, Father's Deathbed, which is fascinating to listen to, to think about, to ponder what happens as we near death, and what are the things we say, and what are the death and what are the things we say and what are the meaning |
| 0:39.8 | what what are the things we say mean and do they give us an in inkling or an opening or a view |
| 0:47.5 | of potentially the other side our soul leaving our body so here today we have a's story and Aaron. Thank you so much for sharing. |
| 0:57.5 | Thank you for taking the time to put it all together. And thank you for also sharing these really |
| 1:03.1 | meaningful clips that I'm sure you will hold dear. And I know in just listening to them was so |
| 1:10.4 | meaningful for me. |
| 1:11.6 | Some of the parts that you don't hear are the laughter and the joy, frankly, at the |

| 1:53.4 | older years cut his hair, eventually shaving his head bald, traded the sandals for work shoes, |
| 1:59.6 | and became a family man. But he never lost his love of |
| 2:03.6 | guitar playing, something he did for hours on end, and his insatiable need for a good debate. He could be a |
| 2:11.2 | real asshole sometimes, and I say that in the most loving way possible. Questioning religion was par for the course in our house growing up. |
| 2:20.4 | Having been raised Catholic, my dad struggled with the idea of God, the afterlife, and what |
