We have countless conversations throughout our life, yet the most
critical one-discussing death-is the one we just aren't having. But
what if talking about death wasn't the loaded, uncomfortable
conversation we've come to dread? What if death wasn't a repressed
topic, but one capable of bringing us closer to those we love?
Michael Hebb, founder of Death Over Dinner, examines these
questions and sparks a change in how we talk about death, one
conversation at a time. Sharing prompts that have lead hundreds of
thousands of discussions, Let's Talk About Death (Over Dinner)
helps you broach everything from end-of-life care to the meaning of
legacy, to how long we should grieve: What does a good death look
like? If you could extend your life, how many years would you add?
Twenty, fifty, one hundred, forever? If you were to design your own
funeral or memorial, what would it look like? What do you want your
legacy to be? Designed to help you talk about death's most
difficult aspects, these thought-provoking prompts, and the
powerful stories that support them, help transform the most
difficult conversations into celebratory and meaningful
opportunities -- ways that not only change the way we die, but the
way we live.
Nationally recognized grief educator Harold Ivan Smith brings over

spiritually and emotionally. One particular aspect of living with
grief day-to-day is introduced with relevant quotes and short
excerpts. Readers can read ABCs of Healthy Grieving cover to cover,
