When You Die Community

Afraid of death? Here's what you need to know!

Ever since Ladies Home Journal re-branded the parlor as the new "living room" at the end of WWI, we have actively pushed death away. So now we find ourselves at a crossroad since close to 80% of us want to die at home, but less than 15% manage to do so. The cost to us is dear: lost time with loved ones, prolonged suffering at the hands of medical institutions designed to cure death rather than support the journey, not to mention the financial cost.

Talking about death and getting curious about it begins the process of change in our culture from death adverse to embracing the temporary nature of our time on this planet. It makes life more precious. And this is exactly why we created the When You Die documentary trilogy along with social media channels, resource-rich website, podcasts and short films.
