When Death Becomes the Teacher
A distinguished older man in a panama hat approaches you at a funeral, introducing himself as a former patient. Your mind goes blank-you have no memory of him whatsoever. This mortifying moment opens a window into one of psychotherapy's deepest truths: we carry fragments of each other forward, often in ways neither party fully understands. These therapeutic encounters reveal how confronting our mortality-that uncomfortable truth we spend most of our lives avoiding-can paradoxically teach us how to live. The title borrows from Marcus Aurelius: "All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike." We're all temporary, yet we desperately seek to matter, to be witnessed, to leave something behind. What happens when we stop running from this reality and turn to face it directly?
