From the Frontline-Episode 235-Dealing with Death and Grappling with Grief

From the Frontline: Dealing with Death and Grappling with Grief

The death and funeral of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has dominated the news in the last two weeks. Approximately 2 million people lined the procession route in London and over 4 billion people watched the funeral proceedings live online. What can we learn from these events? What does it say about the role of the monarchy? What does it reveal about tradition and religion? How should we evaluate the funeral service in Westminster Abbey? How should we understand death and how can we cope with grief? How can we help those who are going through bereavement?

"And God will wipe away every tear from our eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor sighing. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

Revelation 21:4
