Dying To Meet You

Suffering | Death | Meaning | Hope

My name is Amanda Achtman. I created Dying To Meet You, a project of cultural renewal to humanize our conversation on suffering, death, meaning, and hope. I do this through writing, speaking, events, short films, and through cooperating with others as we seek to value every human person.

Now we do not so much have a culture of death as we have death without culture.

That's why we need a better cultural conversation – one that explores death as an occasion for discovering who and what we truly are.

I am convinced that artistic beauty, humanizing storytelling, and edifying examples are critical to restoring our cultural health when it comes to our experiences of death and dying.
