I’ve been thinking about the short doc I alluded to in yesterday’s post. The main physician that is featured makes a statement that rings incredibly true to me.
“ I think that we all should explore a little more, this death and dying thing. I think that it is very isolating for people and people are uncomfortable around it…but if the solution is that we just avoid it more & more, then, one day, each one of us will be in the situation and nobody will be there for us. “
This is why I’m passionate about death education and death literacy. The more we talk about death- remove it from the fear, from the disdain, from the mystery- maybe we can ensure that we all have access to our ideal death.
