Why read it?
1 author picked Death and its Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Beautiful Lessons as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I first learned of the Death Dialogue Projects through Instagram. The author has a standing open call for Tiny Death Stories of 100 words or less, and a few of mine were showcased along with many lovely true tales of personal loss and grief. What a welcome resource as well as her emotionally raw nature of her podcast translates well into her pages. The book is an obvious project of passion embracing death literacy. I love how healing and understanding are weaved through the shared stories.
From Elizabeth's list on The best books if you literally want to go green when you die.
