Scenario

When couples have opposite relationships to mortality and meaninglessness

My wife and I have been talking about death more since we hit our forties and we realize we have completely different relationships to mortality — she finds comfort in the idea that 'nothing matters ultimately' while I feel paralyzed by that same thought, and we're struggling to support each other through what feels like opposite existential crises.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their core responses to existential awareness create a fundamental disconnect in how they experience and process life's ultimate questions together.
