Welcome to Dying to Read, an educational resource devoted to exploring the profound and often misunderstood subjects of death and dying. Our mission is to demystify the end of life, providing our readers with knowledge that can alleviate fear and anxiety associated with this inevitable phase of human existence.

At Dying to Read, we believe that understanding death can change our perspective on life. By offering well-researched articles, expert opinions, and a supportive community, we aim to equip you with the tools to approach the topic of death with curiosity rather than fear. Our content spans a variety of topics including the psychological impact of bereavement, cultural death rituals, ethical wills, palliative care options, and practical advice for end-of-life planning.

We strive to foster a space where discussions about death are normalised and where individuals can find solace and empowerment through education. Whether you’re someone dealing with a terminal illness, a caregiver, a professional in the field of palliative care, or simply someone who wishes to learn more about this inevitable part of life, Dying to Read is here to provide valuable insights.

Join us as we embark on this journey of understanding and acceptance. By learning about death, we not only prepare ourselves for the end but also enrich our appreciation for life, encouraging us to live more fully and care for ourselves and others with compassion and dignity.

Why are you scared of DEATH?

People often fear dying due to the unknown nature of death, the finality it represents, the potential for pain or suffering, and the distress of leaving loved ones behind. This fear is also compounded by cultural attitudes and personal beliefs about what, if anything, happens after death.
