Books on death, grief and funerals. If you are interested in said subjects I don’t recommend reading all as some just say the same thing just slightly differently. I’m hoping we can destigmatise and help ease our cultural fear of the dying and move towards open conversations and education of end-of-life care and what happens when animals die.
