Why We've Become a Culture That Can't Say the Word
Death surrounds us-in news feeds, streaming dramas, video games-yet we've never been more terrified to speak its name aloud. A hospice chaplain recently shared that when she introduces herself at parties, conversations abruptly end. We've mastered talking about everything from sex to politics, but mortality? That's where the room goes silent. This wasn't always true. Our ancestors lived intimately with death. Colonial families lost one in three children before adulthood. The theologian John Owen buried eleven children and his first wife, present for each passing. Death happened at home, witnessed by family, woven into the fabric of daily existence. Today, most people die behind hospital curtains, sanitized and hidden. We've outsourced dying to professionals, and in doing so, we've lost the vocabulary for confronting our most certain future. Modern medicine's triumph has become an unexpected curse. Longer lifespans are wonderful, but they've created an illusion-that death is optional, a problem technology will eventually solve. We've traded the wisdom of Psalm 90:12, which calls us to "number our days," for a collective fantasy that we might escape the inevitable. When was the last time you had a genuine conversation about death that wasn't forced by tragedy? We've become the most unprepared people in history for the one thing that will happen to every single one of us.
