"But if there’s something worse than facing that unknown beyond this life, it’s facing it alone."

amen. even though i didn't finish the game, i felt this premise was very moving. Helping one another die well is a bit of the flip-side of helping one another live well. thanks for writing this, friend <3

Thank you for reading!

Both sides of that (walking through life and preparing for death) make me wish modern American society did a better job at supporting intergenerational friendships. There is some major wisdom and help we lose by being sorted into age group or life stage for so many things.

There are some things where it's helpful to walk alongside those in the same life stage, but I thinknwe really suffer from the lack of natural mentoring/supporting that comes into play in cross-generational friendships.
