A love letter to my grandparents

This short digital animation tells the stories of my grandparents' four very different end-of-life experiences and what they taught me about a good death. Through narrative art therapy, I reflect on how their deaths inspired me to dedicate my career to aging, dying, and opening conversations for healing.
