SAMS organizes interfaith dialogue on death and grief
In anticipation of All Saints Day, SAMS has organized a collaborative dialogue scheduled for late November to address existential questions surrounding death and grief. The event will bring together representatives from major religious communities, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, as well as Humanists, to share diverse perspectives on life and mortality.
The initiative follows observations from support work with the bereaved, noting that the sense of powerlessness in the face of death is a universal human experience that transcends wealth, age, and origin. While professional support such as psychotherapists and counselors is available, the dialogue aims to tackle the profound existential questions that often remain unanswered by traditional support systems.
