Green-Wood Cemetery is hosting its inaugural "Sunday in the Cemetery" event, aimed at fostering open conversations about death and remembrance. The program includes meditation sessions, art tours, and workshops for attendees to engage with their mortality. Gabrielle Gatto emphasizes that discussing death can enrich one's life and alleviate discomfort surrounding the topic. Events such as panels with professionals in the death care industry aim to provide support and healing for those dealing with grief, offering a space to normalize discussions around end-of-life experiences.
Any death care worker you talk to, they will tell you that the more they deepen into their work, the more meaningfully they live their lives. It's just this wonderful great paradox.
Green-Wood's goal is to normalize and humanize end of life experience, so what better place to do it than a potential final home?
