Dying Breath
dyingbreath
Only one thing in life is certain… It will end. Death is something we will all face one day. But we are not here to talk about how we handle that loss. Every Tuesday, I aim to explore the other side of the experience. Often, the way in which the end of a life is met is every bit as defining of it as the way it was lived. I would like to take you on a journey through some of history's famous last words and the lives of the people who uttered them. I hope to find some connection between the personalities of these historical figures and the way they greeted their ends... and perhaps the effect their last words had on the world they left behind. I’m Peter Laramie, and you’re listening to Dying Breath.
