Comments
Members of the community were invited to share their personal reflections on death and dying. We met briefly before recording their insights, but no interview guide was provided. We are grateful for their openness, sharing, and honesty. What follows are their perceptions born from a wealth of lived experience and knowledge. Please enjoy and reflect.
