I’d be properly excited if she was training to be a death dueler.

I know people have been clowning on her desire to do this, but if she’s serious about it, good on her. Death has become so medicalized that the actual, human side of the experience (for the patient and family) has been swept under the rug. When my own mother died in home hospice it was the visiting assistants that held us all together, from sitting and talking with Mom to reminding the rest of us to eat.
We laugh at the Victorians for being “morbid” but they had a far healthier approach to what is a universal human experience than we do today.
