Sam Fern: What the Dead teach us about Community - Part 2

In today's episode of What About Death!?, Tsultrim continues her conversation with author Sam Fern. They discuss the process of writing his second book, Where the Dead Lives, a vividly illustrated exploration of world cultures and the way people mourn, grieve, and remember their dead. Sam also discusses the audience he hoped his books would find, and how writing about death and grief has shaped his own personal understanding of loss.  Follow Sam on social media to learn more about his work: @samfern_author, or visit his website.What About Death!? is hosted by Venerable Tsultrim and brought to you by Karuna Hospice Services.About KarunaKaruna exists to ease the suffering that surrounds death.
