If you would rather experience death than talk about it, you aren't alone. But what if we all got more comfortable talking about death--our fears, our beliefs, our hopes, the legacy we want to leave behind? Then maybe we would each feel less alone when we're going through it. And be better prepared when we inevitably encounter grief and suffering--our own or someone else's. And it doesn't all have to be sadness and dirges played in minor chords. There is beauty and richness and plenty of humor to be had. Join the conversation as we talk to death so we can get on with life.
