When friends face death with different beliefs about the afterlife

My best friend is dying and we've spent hours talking about what comes after but we come from completely different spiritual backgrounds and I can see her struggling with fear while I'm struggling with not knowing how to offer comfort that feels true to both of our beliefs. We're running out of time to figure out how to hold space for each other's understanding of what death means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to navigate the sacred threshold of death while honoring vastly different cosmologies of what lies beyond.
