Tara Sroka helps people create online memorials, manage their digital legacies, and more through her end-of-life planning service, Bringing Death Into Life.

I spoke with Tara about why she feels called to this work—especially her launch of virtual funeral offerings amid the Covid-19 pandemic—other ways technology is changing how we mourn and honor our dead, and the downside of immortality. To learn more about Tara and end-of-life planning, connect with her on Bringing Death Into Life and @BringingDeathIntoLife on Instagram and Facebook.

And, as usual, I share my daily mortality mantras with you. I say both to myself every morning, usually during the ice cold shower I take shortly after getting out of bed to help wake my groggy ass up and start the day off right. I hope they help you as much as they help me.
