Death LITERALLY happens to everything, so why is it still so awkward? Casey (she/her/hers) hops on to discuss some of the books that have helped her prepare for her OWN grief around death. She mentions her Father's recent passing, the necessity of death rituals and challenging the taboo, google being trash, and reads an excerpt from "The Buried Soul: How Humans Invented Death" by Timothy Taylor.
