In a world where conversations about death are often avoided, death literacy is emerging as an essential skill for navigating life’s final transition with awareness and compassion.
What Is death literacy and why does it matter?
Death literacy encompasses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable us to better understand and navigate end-of-life matters. It's about more than just knowing the practicalities of funeral arrangements or legal documents. Death literacy involves emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, and the ability to engage in open, compassionate conversations about mortality.
