Episode notes
Essence of Thanatology
- Thanatology is the study of death and dying, with a focus more on the dying process than death itself.
- Death enhances our understanding but is not a standalone profession itself.
Talking About Death Effectively
- Approach conversations about death gently, not directly, like sneaking up on a deer in the woods.
- This eases fear and allows meaningful engagement about death and dying.
Express Your Funeral Wishes
- Clearly communicate your funeral wishes with loved ones while alive; wills often get found only after funerals.
- Consider green burial with a shroud as an eco-friendly, personal disposition method.
