We live in a society where we don’t talk about death or mortality. Why? Because it makes us feel sad? Why shouldn’t it make us appreciate life, reflect on how fortunate we are because we are alive, and we have the possibility of being happy, satisfied, and reaching our goals?

Here is where the idea for the Wish Wall comes from. Death doesn’t need to be a taboo; by thinking about the things you’d like to do before you die - and writing them down - and sharing them- we can start a conversation about mortality. And speaking about it with gratification, distraction, in a way that makes you pause, and think about your life (yes! speaking about death and mortality makes us think of life, and its joy). 

And sharing with the community brings not only a sense of solidarity but you can also find what truly matters in life. This is how the conversation can become a huge motivator for all of us in this community.
