Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them): A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying by Sallie Tisdale

I listened to this, which means I didn't catch everything. I'm still not a very good audiobook reader but it was the only format this was available in through my library. I appreciate the lens that Sallie Tisdale looks at death through. The death of a loved one is very hard to come to terms with and Tisdale talks about how we try to delay, postpone, and even dictate how it should go when we really need to let it runs its course, no matter how gruesome or "cruel" that may seem. 

Tisdale writes about how death can be messy and only a certain kind of death is a good death. This book has challenged that view for me. There is no one currently in my life who is on their death bed (and hopefully not for a long time), but when that time comes, this is a book I may consider revisiting.
