Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At nine years old, Monica Holloway develops a fascination with the local funeral home. Small wonder, with a father who drives his Ford pick up with a Kodak movie camera sitting shotgun just in case he sees an accident, and whose home movies feature more footage of disasters than of his children. In between her father's bouts of violence and abuse, Monica becomes fast friends with Julie Kilner, whose father is the town mortician. She and Julie preferred the casket showroom to the parks and grassy backyards in her hometown of Elk Grove, Ohio, where they would take turns lying in their favourite coffins. In time, Monica and Julie get a job driving the company hearse to pick up bodies from the airport, yet even Monica's growing independence can't protect her from her parents' irresponsibility, and from the feeling that she simply does not deserve to be safe. Little does she know, as she finally strikes out on her own, that her parents' biggest betrayal has yet to be revealed...

Download or read book Modern Loss written by Rebecca Soffer and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the website that the New York Times hailed as "redefining mourning," this book is a fresh and irreverent examination into navigating grief and resilience in the age of social media, offering comfort and community for coping with the mess of loss through candid original essays from a variety of voices, accompanied by gorgeous two-color illustrations and wry infographics. At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it’s clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Let’s face it: most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We’re awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit. Enter Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner, who can help us do better. Each having lost parents as young adults, they co-founded Modern Loss, responding to a need to change the dialogue around the messy experience of grief. Now, in this wise and often funny book, they offer the insights of the Modern Loss community to help us cry, laugh, grieve, identify, and—above all—empathize. Soffer and Birkner, along with forty guest contributors including Lucy Kalanithi, singer Amanda Palmer, and CNN’s Brian Stelter, reveal their own stories on a wide range of topics including triggers, sex, secrets, and inheritance. Accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and witty "how to" cartoons, each contribution provides a unique perspective on loss as well as a remarkable life-affirming message. Brutally honest and inspiring, Modern Loss invites us to talk intimately and humorously about grief, helping us confront the humanity (and mortality) we all share. Beginners welcome.

Download or read book The Dead Moms Club written by Kate Spencer and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).

Book excerpt: Many cultures have celebrations that commemorate their ancestors. Mexico's celebration, los Días de Muertos, the Days of the Dead, can be like a carnival. Young people throng the streets dressed up in ghoulish costumes. They beg for calaveras - treats - like candy skulls made of sugar or chocolate, and everyone buys pan de muerto, a bread decorated with a patter of bones. This is also a time for families to reunite in remembrance of those who have died. People go to market to buy what is needed for the ofrenda, or offering, to the souls of the departed - special foods and other items. The next morning, everyone goes to the cemetery to visit the graves of loved ones who have died. All through the night, they pray and sing by candlelight in celebration of the Days of the Dead. Author Kathryn Lasky and photographer Christopher G. Knight capture the spirit of this vibrant holiday with vivid prose and brilliant, full-color photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death is an inescapable and natural component of the human experience. As the human brain evolved, humanity recognized that all living things would ultimately perish. Even after recognizing this reality, human beings have struggled to let go of loved ones. When family members or friends pass away, individuals feel compelled to dedicate a particular time to honoring and remembering them. As a result of this desire, the majority of civilizations, ancient or contemporary, have established a particular festival dedicated to remembering the deceased. Additionally, many civilizations have established festivals devoted to death, possibly as a means of reconciling with the inevitable demise of all living things. Numerous Western nations have comparable customs for commemorating the deceased. For instance, the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, and Iceland all observe the Halloween holiday in some manner. This festival has recently gained popularity among youngsters in other European nations. Today, Halloween has become extremely commercialized, and as a result, it has lost much of its spiritual significance. Nonetheless, it began as a day commemorating death. Certain Halloween-like festivities were initially devoted to loved ones who had died, rather than to death itself. Day of the Dead is one such holiday, which is observed in a number of Latin American nations, including Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Due to the Spanish colonization of most of Latin America, there is a significant connection between Day of the Dead and the Christian festivals All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, and Soul Saturday Radonitsa, which honor dead saints and ancestors. When All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day were introduced and established as holidays in the new Spanish colonies, the indigenous people maintained their own days of mourning and refused to embrace the Spanish customs. However, throughout time, the Spanish and indigenous traditions surrounding the holidays became entwined, resulting in the formation of new rituals. Today's Day of the Dead festivities include aspects of indigenous traditions as well as All Saints' and All Souls' Days. Additionally, several of Halloween's iconic traditions have impacted these festivities. The resultant festival honors death in general while also paying tribute to an individual's dead forefathers and mothers. Certain cultures have festivals dedicated to remembering dead relatives. On Tomb Sweeping Day, a large number of people in Asian nations such as China and Taiwan visit graves to pay tribute to their ancestors. Families gather at their loved ones' graves to clean and adorn them. They make meals for themselves and for the dead. The Ghost Festival is also observed throughout Asia. This celebration features lavish feasts for the living and the dead. People think that their dead ancestors come to the realm of the living at this time to partake in the feasts and interact with their family. Be Safe with Your family & friends.
