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.

5.0

This is a thoroughly challenging read, but one that I found extremely empathetic and respectful of the topics and the people that the author interviews.  It will provoke emotional responses that can be difficult, but it is worth it to explore them.  The warnings I included are more meant for anyone on the fence about what they might encounter.  Again, this is a book that might trigger some emotional responses and while I think this is a good thing for someone to reflect on if they are in a healthy state of mind and ready to confront some heavy topics, this can be really hard and potentially really upsetting to someone who isn't emotionally ready for it.  Recommended still.

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