Ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of everything—your career, your relationships, your success—because it matters so much? But here’s the kicker: what if it doesn’t?

Most of us avoid thinking about death. Not because it isn’t coming, but because it scares us. We don’t know how we’ll handle it. We don’t want to imagine life without the people we love.
