Scenario

When couples avoid talking about mortality and authentic living

My partner and I both know we're going to die but we never talk about what that means for how we're living right now, and I think we're both sleepwalking through our days together because actually facing our mortality feels too big. We keep making plans like we have infinite time and avoiding the conversations that might actually matter.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are using their relationship to hide from the fundamental truth of their finite existence.
