I Have Stage 4 Cancer: Can Grief Tech Make It Easier To Say Goodbye? - Part 1/3 | Remembering Me

Profound loss – of any sort, and impending or otherwise – is inevitably accompanied by grief. Can technology help those going through the grieving process? In Part 1 of this series, we meet four individuals, each facing loss in their own ways, as they begin to explore what grief tech can do for them.

William Lee lost his 12-year-old son Raphael to cancer and hopes to use technology to preserve precious memories of their time together. Singer Jacintha Abisheganaden yearns to perform with her late father, Alex Abisheganaden, as she had done throughout her 50-year career. Actor Chew Chor Meng longs to revisit an iconic role from his past, one he portrayed before being diagnosed with a neuromuscular disorder. Mother-of-four Alison Wee contemplates the legacy she wants to leave behind for her children, as she continues to battle with advanced breast cancer.
