Noah Cyrus: I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me (Afterlife Science with Kim Penberthy)
Sing for ScienceShow Notes
Singer-songwriter Noah Cyrus talks about her haunting new album inspired by a hymn written by her great-grandfather, and her deepest fear—not death itself, but being separated from her loved ones. She also opens up about her near-death experience and the profound losses that shaped her experience with love and grief. Joining her is Dr. Kim Penberthy of UVA’s Division of Perceptual Studies, whose research into near-death experiences and after-death communication offers a fascinating look at what may await us beyond life.
