Is it cos the planet is also dying with us? Just saying.
We only have 11 years to prevent catastrophic levels of global warming, mass shootings are becoming a regular occurrence in the US, and a rise in extremist politics; no-one should be surprised that young people have a heightened sense of their own mortality and thoughts about their own funeral sometimes crossed their mind.
However, cyber psychologist Dr Dawn Branley-Bell isn’t totally convinced. She doesn’t believe young people are exposed to death any more than previous generations were, however she recognises the potential impact and exposure that comes with the internet and social media. “Online behaviour and communication are generally reflective of topics that would previously have just been shared with friends, family or other social groups,'' Dawn argues.
has elected to remove a bizarre scene which depicted Hannah's suicide in excruciating and easily emulated detail. The depiction was so emotive and vivid that it was quickly panned by many mental health experts as a dangerous ‘how-to’ guide. The removal was a step in the right direction, sure, but scroll through your Instagram feed and it won’t take long before you come across a comedically dark meme wishing for death and an escape from the perils of this world.
However it’s not all negative, as Dawn notes, “some research into healthcare work and palliative care, suggests that being exposed to death can make individuals reflect upon the meaning of life and come to terms with mortality”. I asked my followers who said they had thought about their own funeral and a pattern emerged of people using their funeral service as a moment of empowerment – one last chance to take control of their own narrative even after their demise.
One person I spoke to said they would like everyone to take a shot off of their coffin. “I love Jaeger bombs and so for me, in my mind, that would be everyone’s last chance to take a final shot with me!” While perhaps the idea of getting so close to a corpse as to be able to take a shot off the coffin isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, the concept that the funeral should be authentic to the life led and the experiences she had with the people attending isn’t so scandalous.
