Read for my “Death Becomes Us” bookclub.

What a useful book! I will get a physical copy to use the workbook part at the end.

If you want help deciding what should happen to your body after you die, this is a great reference. It discusses lots of options and how to let your family or caregivers know your wishes.

I think it is a kindness to let your loved ones know, so they won‘t have to guess or make hard decisions in a time of crisis.

Read for my “Death Becomes Us” bookclub with @Eyelit and @thestarlesscasea . We read books about death, all nonfiction so far, stemming from a common interest in Stiff by Mary Roach and The Mummy Congress (⬇️).

Because we‘ve read a lot on the topic, this felt like repetition to me, except for the exhausting details about presidential burials, casket and hearse materials, and grave robbery protective contraptions. A bit dull, unless it‘s a new ⬇️

Soubhiville A new subject for you, then you‘d probably get a lot more out of it than I did. Still 3 ⭐️ because there is good info. 2mo
Soubhiville Ps if this is a topic you are interested in, we meet virtually every other month and you‘re welcome to join us! 2mo
bookishbitch I loved Stiff! 2mo

Very interesting book. Found it in Waterstones and picked up on a whim. If you like interesting books about famous corpses this is the one for you!

#smallbusinesssaturday #bookhaul 3 stores visited (1 totally new to me) and a multitude of books added to my tbr because I sadly can‘t buy all the books I‘m interested. Here are some that came home with me today. 🤩

Soubhiville I‘m here looking up Obitchuary to see if it has photos or illustrations or if it‘ll be fine to just do audio. Thoughts? 5mo
Eyelit @Soubhiville it does have some graphics and some sidebars highlighted but I‘m fairly certain you‘re good with just audio - cause the sidebars will be no doubt included and the graphics are just an occasional fun addition and not integral or overly present enough to recommend physical over audio - at least not to my quick flip through 5mo
Soubhiville Awesome, thank you! 5mo

I found this book at an indie bookstore in Seattle. It has very blunt, direct language (no softness or beating around the bush), and lots of dark humor. The author talks about his patients, and what is like to care for the dying. He especially talks a lot about those who wish to die, because they are suffering so needlessly. He provided that service with compassion to many of them. Shown: if you know, you know. And you‘ll understand why I⬇️

JenniferEgnor chose this one! 6mo

I found this edition while scanning the shelves in an indie bookstore in Seattle. It was a quick read with a lot of familiar information and ideas—but EKR is always worth reading. I honestly can‘t get enough of books on these topics! The world needs more of them. Death Care and Death Education can be so different, if we allow it to be. Shown: snowberries at Snoqualmie Falls in WA.

DogMomIrene So I play the Sims and their latest expansion coming on Halloween is called Life & Death, where I think I‘ll be able to be an intern for the Grim Reaper. I haven‘t kept up with all the press releases but the trailer featuring Grim hooked me. Because I love the wackiness of the Sims. 7mo

I know this looks very bad… and in some ways it very much was 😅 I would not consider this a guide for those who are actively grieving. The author is a comedian and this book is VERY tongue in cheek throughout its‘ entirety. The author herself even admits the advice given is terrible and sometimes even illegal. However… everyone grieves in their own way and this was the way this person went through her fathers death of cancer. No judgements here.
