Are You Death Illiterate?

Writer's picture: Rhyena HalpernRhyena Halpern

Death Literacy. This newish term keeps coming up.


For me, it means we can talk about death, we can plan for our death, we can talk about our plans with our people, we can find another route if we don't have a person, we can listen to our people talk about their plans.


It means we have an advanced care directive and a health care proxy.


It means we know what we want to happen with our bodies after our death; it means we know what we want to happen to our stuff after our death, it means we have made our financial plans clear.


It may mean we have done some life review or a legacy project or an ethical will, contemplating what we leave behind.


It means we are open to a sense of ease about all things death and dying in how we think, talk and feel.


Onward!
