pickI 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.
pickAfter seeing the movie Freuds Last Session I wanted to know more about CS Lewis. I had read his Narnia series in my 20s. This was in my partners extensive book collection and I started to read it. My confession here, I only read the Afterword. Amazing. Gave me all I wanted to know about CS Lewis. Fitted in well with what I had learnt from the movie. I am interested in how he went from being an atheist to a Christian. I‘ll try 1 more of his books.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pick"And all of a sudden I understood. All of a sudden I got it. Why Rose was in the urn on the Mantlepiece. Why Dad found it too hard to sprinkle her into the sea. Why he gave her cake on birthdays, and why he fastened her seat belt, and why he hung a stocking by the urn on Christmas Eve. It was too hard to let go. He loved her too much to say goodbye."
Five stars. Amazing book.
Our sweet kitty Riley passed away last night, peacefully in his sleep after a brief illness. He was 17.
He loved birdwatching, sunbeams, lap time, licking water off of shower doors and soda cans, and helping me with sewing projects. We deeply love and already miss our little peanut, but are grateful he‘s no longer struggling.
so-soA Grief Observed is a compilation of longhand writings take from the notebook journals of C.S. Lewis chronicling his thoughts over the loss of his wife. I listened to this book on audio. And it's fairly short, which is probably a good thing, and nearly bailed before the introduction was over. To be honest if it had been any longer than what it was, I still would have bailed on it. The content is interesting, (cont in comments)...
