In the midst of holiday celebrations, there's an undeniable presence of death, grief, and sorrow, reflecting the complex relationship between the living and the dead.
Teaching a course on death and dying has revealed to me that many students seek understanding through grief, curiosity, and a need to engage with a death-saturated culture.
The holiday season exemplifies the tension of joy and sorrow, highlighting how mortality intertwines with celebrations in profound ways, often colored by personal loss and remembrance.
By exploring death-related topics, we can gain valuable insights into our own lives, challenge societal taboos, and redefine our understanding of existence in a culturally relevant context.
