One of the participants at Calgary's First Death Cafe sent me a message saying that being at the Death Cafe made him realize how little he knows about the process of dying
In case you're wondering the same thing, here are the titles of the books that I have found intriguing, heart-breaking, yet definitely helpful:
1. Crossing Over – Narratives of Palliative Care – published by Oxford University Press
6. All
Kinds of Love – Experiencing Hospice – Jaffe and Ehrlich
You
can get most of these books online or off the shelf at Self-Connection
Books. Mike and Marla at Self-Connection have provided the books at the
Dealing with Grief Conference for years, and are my "go-to" for resources
on death, dying and grief.
If there's something that you're wondering about, or would like information about, just send me a message at wendymariek@gmail.com
