Death and mortality is not a topic to be feared and avoided, but one to be discussed and understood. Why? Because avoiding it and pretending it isn't going to happen one day is actually damaging your mental health. So this week I’m talking about why making your peace with the subject of death matters for your mental health and, more importantly, how to understand and accept death and mortality. I know it’s a big topic and potentially a difficult one for some of you, but bear with me because I’m going to explain how greater acceptance of your mortality can actually improve your mental health and overall wellbeing (plus how to do that!).
