Scenario

When shared death contemplation reveals incompatible coping styles

My marriage counselor suggested we try Stoic death meditation together to help us appreciate what we have, but every time we do it, we end up having completely different emotional responses and I feel like we're processing mortality in ways that make us feel more distant from each other, not closer.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Joint mortality practice is highlighting fundamental differences in how partners process existential reality and meaning.
