In this eloquent, somber memoir about the death of her mother and grieving aftermath, poet and journalist O'Rourke (Halflife) ponders the eternal human question: how do we live with the knowledge that we will one day die?

This book perfectly blended anecdotal experience and research. I found it extremely enlightening and insightful into our culture, and grief as a concept. As someone who has not experienced this kind of loss, it feels like a good book to read to understand what other people are going through, and what I will likely experience one day.
