death positive movement

The death positive movement is a cultural effort to change how society views death and dying. It encourages open conversations, reducing fear and stigma around death, and promotes acceptance of it as a natural part of life. Advocates support informed choices about end-of-life care, funeral practices, and the importance of grieving openly. The movement aims to foster understanding, compassion, and a healthier relationship with mortality, helping individuals and communities embrace death with honesty and dignity.
