The Archaeology of Loss: Life, Love and the Art of Dying by Sarah Tarlow

5.0
The author spoke with raw, open, honest reflection of her experience as a carer of not only her husband, but also her aging mother, and her young children, while still building her career. Her expression of her experience supports a narrative where it is okay to be angry, frustrated, lonely, resentful of being a carer. These emotions are also 'normal'.
As a parent of a bio-archaelogist, this book also gave me insight and a greater understanding of this profession, theoretical and historical contex , and how it shapes our modern day experience of death, and loss.
