I read this book in part because I want to find ways to help process and eliminate mysteries surrounding death, to some degree, especially after these last few years. This book helped, examining the topic through a scientific lens while also highlighting all of the care work that often goes unnoticed. If you're interested in these kinds of conversations, I highly recommend reading this book. ...just remember to take breaks!

Some chapters were more emotionally challenging to read than others, so readers may want to consider planning gentle 'aftercare' rituals for their reading.brittbottoms's review
