MyDeathRehearsal: A Year of Rehearsing Death

Field notes

The practice is organized around Dr. Ryan Westrum’s Existential eXperience framework, which treats death and grief as work involving mind, body, emotion, and spirit rather than intellect alone. Its seven-part structure pairs daily prompts and journaling with learning, legacy wishes, community, and practical resources. The site describes a future phone-first app and companion book, but the current notification form explicitly says it is only a placeholder.
