Gal Zeichner Eda, who lost her son Noah five years ago, in a conversation with Naama Faber about her father who died 8 years ago.
The podcast "Why Who Dies?"
Wants to show that laughter and death is not such a strange and even legitimate combination.
Zeichner Eda embarks on a journey that seeks to answer the really important questions: what is allowed to be said and what is not allowed, and is it acceptable to make jokes while fasting?
"How do you ask someone if their father is dead?"
Zeichner Eda opens the conversation with a question "How do you ask someone if their father is dead?"
Faber answers with a half laugh and says "He's still my father, even though he's dead I think his presence has some meaning, maybe he's looking down on us. I haven't decided yet what's going on there, I don't know if that's what keeps him looking down on us, but maybe it has some meaning" (01:50)
"It's not that it wasn't expected and it's not that it didn't make it easier in some way, but it was dramatic," Faber says.
Zeichner Eda continues with the difficult questions "Did this surprise you?"
"Aren't you relieved?"
(03:10) In response to this, Faber answers while re-examining the situation.
The open and somewhat blunt discourse emphasizes the shame and lack of shame that should be around death.
"How will we remember the deceased?"
Later, the two discuss the thoughts that come after the seven.
The pleasant memories and all those funny aspects of the person who left.
Following this, the subject was opened and all the unsuccessful stories about the deceased came up for discussion, which raised uncontrollable laughter and produced a comfortable assumption around the taboo that exists on the subject of "death".
Anything can happen at any moment
At the end, Ada Zeichner asks Faber "Singing on the radio, do you transfer or leave" (29:00) while Faber quickly answers "Leave, and even write later in the group on WhatsApp, Dad said hello." From this place, Ada Zeichner ends the podcast with the question "What would you say For comforters or those who are going to experience grief" In response to this, Faber declares, 'It is permissible to be sad.'
