RE: Death a part of life, WHY don't we talk about it❓❓ Part 1

A death cafe sounds pretty helpful for those coming to terms with loss.

Although we are surrounded by death in the news, in the movies and in computer games we don't talk about it. We see it but ignore it. It's like we refuse to acknowledge it's a reality. We treat it like it's just a game or something that only happens to other people.

Very very true. So many people choose to turn the other way when faced with the concept of mortality, let alone when the reality of someone else's mortality is facing them..

It is all a cycle in my opinion. Looking at the cycle of life in the plant and animal world makes it very clear how death is itself a catalyst for future life. I'd like to see death as the same way but instead of becoming compost to be recycled into the biosphere, you become immortal with your thoughts, creations, family and spirit continuing on in the hearts and minds of those who remember you.
