It seems that our society doesn’t like to talk about death and grief - we prefer to avoid it, imagining that we can be young and healthy forever. What is the result of this avoiding? What is the cost? With the Great Unravelling on our doorstep in the form of COVID-19, political instability and climate change, can we afford to turn a blind eye to death any longer?

2020 has been one wild rollercoaster, and I think it’s safe to say that very few of us are unscathed - and hey, we’re only 2/3 of the way through.

I don’t know about you, but… it’s getting harder to focus. I set goals, but then I don’t really feel like achieving them. I get distracted easily, sinking time into scrolling through my news feeds instead of sticking to what I’d planned to do. I’ve allowed myself far more junk food than I normally would, because I’m not able to relax with friends in the ways I’d normally like to. Many people have told me that they’re feeling the same.
