What a great book! An insight into those dedicated people working behind the scenes, with whom without, society would flounder.
I take my hat off to those working without acknowledgment. 
My thanks to Haley for taking me on this weird , wild and interesting ride.
Would recommend to anyone who wants to know more about those working with death everyday or wonders what our path will take from the moment that we die.

An insightful read, is how I would describe the experience. The chapter describing the author's meeting and interview with the bereavement midwife left me teary-eyed.

There is a section of the book about miscarriages, stillborns, and baby deaths and how a death midwife helps those families dealing with this.

this is not for the faint of heart. i’ve read a lot of nonfiction and parts of this still made me a little sick to my stomach. very informative and interesting but this was a tough read.
