{"product_id":"9781632280596","title":"Making Friends With Death: A Field Guide for Your Impending Last Breath (To Be Read, Ideally, Before It's Imminent!)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeath is a great and grand mystery, and the actual act of dying is the last physical act of our lives. We can do it well, like a graceful well-rehearsed piano solo--or we can do it like that first awkward dance with a middle-school crush. But if anything deserves our full attention, some preparation, or some renewed clarity, death might be it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this light-hearted, irreverent exploration of the one thing that is certain in all lives, \u003ci\u003eMaking Friends with Death\u003c\/i\u003e offers a look at all the uncertainty that precedes this final act. A compelling mix of practical how-to advice and personal narrative, this book encapsulates our greatest quest--to make peace with death. Pritchett offers up wisdoms she has gleaned from all sorts of places, including a decade of traditional research and a lifetime of other related, but less formal, pursuits (digging up a dead body, watching her dog be necropsied on the lawn, hosting Death Cafés, and confronting the grim reaper himself).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Friends with Death\u003c\/i\u003e broaches the sacred and the scary with warmth, research, and humor. Interspersed with a variety of workbook-like exercises, this book will prove to be the go-to companion for anyone who would rather be able to greet death as an old friend, rather than a spooky stranger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Start Midnight LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051934105840,"sku":"9781632280596","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781632280596_p0.jpg?v=1763673947","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781632280596","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
