Death awareness teaches us to sit with hard truths and not try to distract or escape.
If there's an emotional anvil on your chest, that's good. Sit with your racist thoughts and the lies you told yourself about the police and equality. It should feel almost impossible to bear.

Death positivity is not prescriptive. It's not "get over your fear of death in six easy steps."
It's attention & awareness.
Awareness of how marginalized groups are denied access to a good death. Awareness of how people in power fear mortality, creating incredible suffering.

This was inevitable. As I mentioned in my last video, the government brought in refrigerated trucks for hospitals and morgues but NOT for funeral homes. Where did they think all this high capacity funeral home body storage was magically going to come from?
