Why do so many of us feel disconnected from death, dying, and grief—until we’re suddenly forced to face it?

In this episode, we explore how modern culture has shaped our relationship with death and why grief often feels isolating, confusing, or unsupported. From the ways death has been removed from everyday life to the loss of shared mourning practices, we take a closer look at what’s changed—and what it means for individuals and communities.

This conversation is for anyone who has experienced loss, struggled to support someone grieving, or wondered why death feels so difficult to talk about.

We discuss:

• Why we are disconnected from death and dying
• How grief became isolated in modern society
• The emotional and cultural impact of avoiding death conversations
• How to reconnect with grief, death, and community support
• Practical ways to create more meaningful conversations and shared experiences around loss

Whether you’re part of the death-positive movement or simply navigating your own grief, this episode offers a grounded, thoughtful perspective on rebuilding connection where it’s been lost.
