Again, I love everything by Caitlin Doughty. This book was a fascinating look at death traditions in different cultures. I found the chapter about Mexico and Sarah's experience dealing with the loss of her unborn child especially poignant, as I've had my own struggles with multiple miscarriages - finding a place for that grief is really hard. It also gave me some new options for me to consider when I eventually die as well and my loved ones decide what to do with my body. This was a fascinating and well-written book to end the year on.
