“It is often said that everyone is equal in the face of death, regardless of social status, because the time comes for all of us to die. This idea can be found in street conversations, songs, and poems, and expresses a shared truth: we all die because it is part of being alive.
But we don’t die the same or experience mourning in the same way.
