We live in a society that is so death avoidant, that when we hear "death positive" our brain turns to the only thing it knows: camp and caricature ... think Lydia from "Beetlejuice" or Elvira, Mistress of the Dark!
It's more like this: I got into this work to help more people have more knowledge and less fear about something that will happen to all of us.
