Raising Awareness About Death

Raising Awareness About Death

The When You Die Project is hosting
the conversation you've been avoiding.

We believe that talking about death brings a happier end to a fuller life. That’s why we explore it from every angle — from the mysteries of consciousness and the afterlife to the practical realities of hospice, hospital, and home care, grief support, and end-of-life planning. Through films, podcasts, and community resources, we’ll give you something to talk about!

The Films

Director Johanna Lunn guides viewers on a personal journey to explore the great mysteries — does consciousness continue after death? — the practical realities of preparing for the end of life, and the intimate, often unseen process of dying itself. With insight, humor, and compassion these topics are explored with leading researchers, and clinicians who have spent their careers at the bedside. Moving personal stories reveal how facing death can help us live more fully.
