From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty
funny
hopeful
informative
reflective
fast-paced
5.0
Death is, naturally, the main topic of this book and the tragedies that bring death about are necessarily part of the book. Doughty handles them all with grace, sensitivity, kindness, and openness, and I would recommend this to everyone, regardless of where they are on their journey with death acceptance or positivity. It is moving, funny, and reminds us of the value of life and those we love, even after death.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Child death, Miscarriage, Suicide, and Death of parent
While not grotesque, be advised that there are descriptions of the physical appearance and smells of mummified, decomposing, and skeletalized human remains throughout.
