Scenario

When friends from different spiritual backgrounds struggle to discuss mortality and meaning together

My best friend and I have been planning how we want to be remembered and what death means to us, but she's coming from a Buddhist perspective about impermanence and I'm wrestling with my Catholic upbringing, and we keep talking past each other when we try to discuss what really matters about mortality and legacy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their different religious and philosophical frameworks for understanding death create barriers to the intimate conversation they both want to have.
