New collective helps people navigate death — and dying
“‘We come into this life and then we spend most of it trying to avoid our mortality when, in fact, it’s the one thing that we all share,” she added. “We will all die at some point in time and while it may not be welcome, it’s a reality.”
She thinks about all the careful thought people put into other milestones — the time and care of planning a wedding or preparing for the birth of a child.
“But we don’t do that when we think of this most significant event in our life, which is the end of it, the end of this physical life that we have,” she said.
With the collective, she hopes to normalize the conversation, the experience and the inevitable.”’
