Den Grazer Psychiater und Bestseller Autor Michael Lehofer beschäftigt die Frage nach einem erfüllten Leben, unserem Weg in die Lebendigkeit. Für ihn gehört der Tod zum Leben als Begrenzung, um einen Rahmen zu haben, innerhalb dessen wir ein gutes Leben überhaupt erst ermöglichen können. „Das Leben hat nur dann Gewicht, wenn auch der Tod da ist.“ Der Tod ängstigt die Menschen zwar, aber ein Leben ohne Tod - so hat er in seinen Therapiegesprächen erfahren - wollen die meisten seiner Patienten auch nicht. Ein Gespräch über Trost und die Notwendigkeit von Trauerarbeit, um uns danach die Wahrheit zumuten zu können. Helfen können dabei eine heitere Gelassenheit und Spiritualität. Laut Lehofer ist Spiritualität „Die Anerkennung des Zauberhaften. Nämlich dass alles, was wirklich ist, mehr ist als das, was es ist.“ Und als wichtigste Lebensweisheit gibt er uns mit auf den Weg, dass nichts unverzichtbar ist. Nur wenn wir loslassen und verzichten können, werden wir Intensität und Freiheit spüren können. Ebenso wie wir besser optimal leben sollten, statt unser Leben ständig zu optimieren.

Ihre Oma war unheilbar krank und ihr Opa hat versprochen, sie sterben zusammen. Die Großeltern von Hanna Heim haben entschieden gemeinsam aus dem Leben zu gehen: durch assistierten Suizid. Rational wird die Entscheidung respektiert, aber die Herzen der Angehörigen, ihre Gefühle bekommen zu wenig Raum. Wohin mit der Trauer und Wut und der emotionalen Überforderung mit der Situation? Ihre persönlichen Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen mit diesem Suizid hat Hanna Heim zu ihrem ersten Roman bewegt: „Hofsommer“. Im Gespräch mit Eric wünscht sie sich einen offeneren Umgang mit dem Thema und eine bessere psychologische Betreuung der oft überforderten Angehörigen.
