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.
#DaysDevotedTo Day 7: there are soul-stirring real-life #FamilyStories in this journalistic memoir of sorts by Portuguese author Susana Moreira Marques. This book will stay with me for awhile. Review is forthcoming.
#WickedWhispers Day 21: #Death - paired with broken cheesecake, lemon daiquiri and espresso martini - all mocktails, and utterly delicious.
#WickedWhispers Day 13: This title sounds particularly #Chilling in a moribund sort of way. Made sure I brought female Portuguese novelists with me as I travel to Lisbon in a few hours‘ time. Made sure I have posts now for the entire duration of my five day travel. 🧳✈️🛫🇵🇹
I just found out that aquamation is now legal here! It was part of a bill that passed this July! HB 4116. I never thought I would see the day in this state. I will be sharing this with the community and be sure to bring it up at my Death Cafes. I like to think of it as going in a big dishwasher for a good bath 🤣 This is my first choice for my final disposition and it‘s in my advanced directives.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I hate comparisons, but this is 100% for Caitlin Doughty fans.
I wasn‘t totally sure about a memoir by a death doula but it‘s thoughtful and quite interesting so far.
Misty! What a totally unexpected, and most pleasant surprise!! I'm speechless with gratitude ☺️
Thank you, thank you, thank you💕 I'm looking forward to reading this!
Unexpected #BookMail is definitely the best kind of mail ever 😊
