The Order of the Good Death
The Order is about making death a part of your life. Staring down your death fears—whether it be your own death, the death of those you love,
the pain of dying, the afterlife (or lack thereof), grief, corpses, bodily decomposition, or all of the above. Accepting that death itself is natural,
but the death anxiety of modern culture is not.
