The whole inclusion also includes providing safe space, which I noticed means to basically act like there is only good things. So if you mention death in a different context it could trigger someone who recently lost someone, for example.

Personally, I am not a fan of this, but this is how I understand this.

To be fair, any mention of a death of someone roughly my age and situation sets off my anxiety like nothing else.

I’m not saying they’re obliged to prevent that, but I can sort of see where they are coming from.

I understand that, but do you really think that it helps you cope and move on over time if you just avoid the word death forever?

When I lost my dog it was devastating to see other dogs. But it really helped me move on to just expose myself to more dogs and eventually even get a new one.

Interesting. The thought of death calms my anxiety because I know* that if I die then all my worries will be taken away, and nothing will really matter anymore. It's the prospect of an unhappy or difficult life that worry me.

* well, I have a strong belief

Hmm, I guess that is exactly what bothers me so much about death.

I’d rather spend an eternity worrying than a second in oblivion.

This is absolutely insane and I'm so glad there are still companies and industries that don't give a fuck about any of this.
