Let’s talk about death over dinner
More private initiatives are creating safe spaces for people to talk about bereavement, in a bid to normalise conversations on death and dying. The Straits Times writes about “Let’s talk about Death Over Dinner”
The 'death doula' who invites people to discuss the taboo subject over dinner with an aim to live well
Tan Ming Li has made it her mission to help people talk more openly about death, in a way that she herself was not able to when she lost her mum at 17. At one of the events she runs, called Death Over Dinner, the food helps to facilitate meaningful conversations about dying and ultimately, also about living.
