{from the archives} books about grief

from The Bookcast Club

This episode, from February 2023, was a special request from a listener. Sarah and Jenny discuss their experiences with grief and recommend some reads, we promise it's not completely depressing! That being said we do discuss cancer, miscarriage, suicide, sudden death and more, so if you find these topics upsetting then please do give this episode a miss. We hope you enjoy the episode and if you've got any other special requests send them our way!Books mentioned New Animal by Ella BaxterThe Spare Room by Helen GarnerPast Mortems by Carla ValentineWith the End in Mind by Katherine MannixFrom Here to Eternity: Travelling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty Sky Burial by XinranTiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl StrayedThis I Know: Notes on Unravelling the Heart by Susannah ConwayGrief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter LinksCaitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician) YouTube Tiny Beautiful Things episodeGrief is the Thing with Feathers episode Griefcast with Kathryn MannixGet in touchInstagram | TikTok | Substack | Patreon | Ko-fi | Email | YouTubeSupport The Bookcast ClubYou can support the podcast on Patreon.
