Talking about Death Won't Kill You

- An accessibly written, inspiring guidebook for those who (a) are dying, (b) are close to those who are dying, and (c) are health practitioners.

- Covers immediate concerns (funeral arrangements, etc.), long-term planning around a terminal illness, sample conversations, workplace situations, and suggestions for how to talk to kids about death/dying.

- Different from other books on the subject, Talking About Death Won't Kill You takes a community engagement approach to dying and death by focusing on social groups, personal conversations, and informal caregiving, not concentrating solely on formal healthcare resources.

- Author is well connected, a cancer survivor, and an unconventional death educator and researcher.

- The book's title comes from the author's TEDx talk of the same name: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMRZHtkqtq0
