Thank you for writing about this. We need to talk about death a lot more. Instead we pretend it doesn't exist. If we talked about it more, we would probably fear it less. And I think, in addition to talking about leading a life that would leave us happy at death, we need to include giving agency to people who are suffering - with no plausible end to that suffering - a path to a peaceful end.

Yeah completely agree with all that. Thanks for taking the time to share that and support what I do. It means a lot
You’re very welcome :)
Have you looked at the works of the stoics? They helped me ponder on this question with some results a year or so ago.
Yeah, I love Meditations and I’ve also read Discourses too. I agree that does help with the angst around mortality
