Millennials are dying at an🚨🚨🚨rate!
Before the pandemic, #mortality trends for 25-44 yr-olds mirrored other adult age grps. Since #COVID: mortality: unique -now have a 70% higher chance of dying than in 2010. In 2023🚨700K Americans died who'd be alive if they'd lived somewhere else. #Inequality, HC, COVID, rel low vax adoption...
"America seems to be, at a deeper level, a🚨deadly place to live."

Also I'd like to mention an another interesting project - Death Over Dinner (https://deathoverdinner.org/) it is an initiative launched in 2013 to spark conversations about death and end-of-life wishes over shared meals.
With over 100,000 dinners worldwide, it offers tools, prompts, a resource library (reads, watches, listens), and editions like Australian and Jewish.
Part of RoundGlass, it aims to normalize death talks, reducing suffering through communication.

The subject of death should no longer be taboo, because death is a part of life. Do not ignore this important part.
“Our great-grandparents were told that babies were found under gooseberry bushes or cabbages; our children are likely to be told that those who have passed on… are changed into flowers or lie at rest in lovely gardens.” — Caitlin Doughty

The task of an end-of-life doula is therefore not to improve the client’s condition in the moment, but to create a safe and comfortable space so that they can understand and live their feelings here and now: express them, cry, get angry.
Contact with an end-of-life doula can significantly improve the condition of the dying person and their loved ones.
They do not have personal relationships with their clients and will not unload their emotions on them, even if it is difficult for them.
To cope with their condition, doulas undergo supervision and many also undergo personal therapy.

When a person experiences a tragedy, be it with themselves or with a loved one, an end-of-life doula can come to the rescue.
This is a person who knows how to support you, what words to say, how best to behave and how to accept the inevitable. This person also accompanies the family after the death of the loved one.
This person is not a doctor, they cannot prevent the inevitable, but they can help you deal with grief and loss.
A doula knows exactly what you may be experiencing, how to answer your questions and how not to make it worse.

Death. Mortality. Dying. Scary words, are not they?
Sooner or later, we will all have to deal with them, no matter how hard we try to ignore these thoughts.
But when you let go of that irrevocable moment and think about what lies beyond?
Is it better to die alone?
Who can support you when a loved one dies?
What do you mean by support?
The phrases “hang in there”, “everything will be fine” are nothing more than abstractions and an attempt to escape the awareness of death.
Thanks @tg9541 for suggesting the better picture.
Let's talk stress...Life in America is full of it. The article doesn't mention it, but it's probably the root cause of most of the maladies mentioned.
Surprising group of Americans dying FASTER than in every other wealthy country
Living in the US poses a major threat to a person's health, and for people between the ages of 25 and 44, the threat is worse, research has found.
About three million deaths are recorded in the US annually, but the nation's mortality rate is far higher than that of its peers. Researchers calculate a gap between the US and other nations that equals 25 percent of American deaths.
The crisis is most acute for Millennials aged 25 to 44. The gap for this demographic in particular is a whopping 62 percent of deaths.
I will die.
You will die.
We will all die.
And the universe will carry on without notice.
All that we have is that scream into the void.
How we live.
How we go.
And how we stand before we fall.
