Scenario

When household memento mori practices expose incompatible values

My roommates and I started a house practice of regular memento mori reflection after someone suggested it would help us live more intentionally together, but it's revealed that we have fundamentally different values about what a life worth living looks like. Now our monthly death awareness conversations have become the place where all our unspoken conflicts about lifestyle and priorities come out in uncomfortable ways.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Contemplating mortality together has revealed irreconcilable differences about how life should be lived.
