Maria's mom died when she was two.
From an early age, she realized that talking about death was a huge no-no because people got really weird about it. As a way to avoid uncomfortable situations, she hardly spoke about her mom– let alone the way the loss impacted her.
As she got older, she began to ask herself, "Why aren't I talking about this? Why aren't we talking about it?" This is what led to Philotimo Life– a place that breathes life into the conversation around death.
She wants you to share your experiences around death with family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers. As a result, removing the taboo around death talk will help us all embrace the reality of our mortality and create a more compassionate and kinder world.
