How to navigate family resistance to mortality-based time awareness

My family has been talking about doing more 'death contemplation' dinners where we discuss what we'd want to be remembered for, but my teenager thinks it's morbid, my spouse thinks it's too heavy for family time, and I'm the one pushing for it because I genuinely think it could help us all live more intentionally.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One person's desire to use death awareness as a family bonding and prioritization tool is meeting natural resistance from others at different life stages.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with The Stoic meditation on death as time amplifier?”
