Talking about death is often a taboo subject, but some cultures have managed to normalise these conversations in rituals and celebrations. As individuals, talking about death is a poignant and confronting reminder of our mortality. How can we overcome these barriers to open and honest communication about one of the most important life events we will face? In addition, how can we support older adults as they move closer to the end of their lives? Our ability to navigate and engage with these conversations is not only a reflection of our societal views, but also our personal exploration of humanity.
