We spend so much of our lives meticulously planning — careers, vacations, retirement, even what to have for dinner. But death? That’s the grand un-planner, the ultimate disruptor. It crashes into our meticulously built sandcastles, scattering the grains of our daily routines and forcing us to reckon with something far larger than our next dentist appointment. So, let’s pull up a chair, perhaps pour a cup of coffee (or a sweet tea, if you’re down here in Florida), and chat a bit about this fascinating, terrifying, and utterly unavoidable part of the human experience. We'll even sprinkle in a few laughs, because sometimes, that's the only way to get through the more challenging conversations. And now, for a casual look at death.
