Are You Ready to Talk About Death?
Do you hear it? Across the country – in cafés, dining rooms, and com-munity centers – there’s a new conversation taking shape. After decades of sanitizing and sequestering death and dying, America seems to be ready to talk about death. For the next five weeks, we'll be exploring how to start conversations about death with your family, your doctors, and yourself. We'll also take a look at the phenomenon of near-death experience, learn about the conscious death movement, consider how we die and grieve around the world, and much more.
How about you? Are you ready for the conversation? If so, stay tuned in for this five-part series. It all begins this week, with Death: The Reckoning.
