Death Acceptance Social Media Stickers
2020
Digital
Death is universal. As much as we might not like to think about it, one day we’ll all die. In fact, not thinking about it can make dying much more stressful and difficult for us and our loved ones. So, instead of ignoring it until it is unignorable, why not talk about it? Why not talk about options for palliative care, funeral homes, and post-mortem options? I made a series of social media stickers to reflect my passion for the Death Acceptance movement. Social media stickers are used all the time to raise awareness and educate about current issues. These stickers are intended to be used on social media by advocates of the death acceptance movement in order to normalize conversations about funeral options and death activism.
My hope is that social media users who do not know about the death acceptance movement will see others posting with these stickers and will be curious to learn about the movement themselves.
