Why We Need to Talk About Death
In our fast-paced culture, conversations around death and dying can often feel taboo or uncomfortable. Yet, these are topics that touch us all and shape our understanding of life itself.
At SGSCC, we believe it’s time to break the silence. That’s why we’re introducing Death Cafes—judgment-free spaces to explore your thoughts and feelings about life’s inevitable conclusion.
