Scenario

When families avoid meaning-making together

Our family has been dealing with my father's decline and we've all developed different coping strategies, but we never talk about what we actually think is happening or what we believe about suffering or dignity or any of it. We just coordinate care schedules and pretend we're not all having completely different emotional experiences of the same terrible thing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared crisis reveals that avoiding existential conversations leaves everyone isolated in their interpretation of what's unfolding.
