I like this a lot! Do you have any recommendations on which one to start with?

Thank you! And yes! I would start with the books by Caitlin Doughty, who is a mortician and advocate for death acceptance (I think she coined the term "death positivity"). She's also the founder of non-profit The Order of the Good Death. Her three books are all very entertaining, funny and easily approachable. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" about her work as a mortician totally changed my view about death and dying.

Awesome! I'll make a note to start with her work first. 🖤
