In many cultures, including our own, death is a taboo topic. Yet, the death rate remains at 100%! So, why don’t we talk about it? Caitlin Doughty, a mortician, founder of The Order of the Good Death, and the person who proposed the idea of Death Positivity writes, “Subconscious fear of death drives us in negative ways whereas open acknowledgment of our own deaths can help us in positive ways.” The joint celebration of The Day of the Dead and All Hallow’s Eve is the perfect time to begin the conversation about death.
