Exploring Death and Dying in Denmark

A series exploring death and dying in Denmark sheds light on our often fearful and taboo relationship with mortality. The series features stories of individuals facing the end of their lives, offering a poignant look at their experiences and perspectives.

The series highlights the story of 60-year-old Michael Storgaard, who spent his final days in a hospice. Storgaard reflected on his beliefs about the afterlife, expressing a hope to reunite with loved ones who had passed away. He also humorously considered the possibility of being reborn in Paris, but ultimately remained grounded in his expectations.

The series delves into the disappointment some feel when life turns out to be shorter than expected, leading to a sense of broken promises from the welfare system. This disappointment, stemming from postponed dreams, may contribute to the taboo surrounding death in Danish culture. The series encourages a deeper understanding and acceptance of death as a natural part of life.
