How to handle group conflict over death awareness practices

Our book club chose to read about Stoic death practices and now we're supposed to apply memento mori techniques, but half the group thinks it's transformative and half thinks it's depressing, and our discussions have become these intense debates about whether thinking about death actually helps you live better.
