Don't be afraid to show affection, don't be afraid to stop working and listen to old stories, don't be afraid of what lies behind the curtain.' Kate, and all other medical professionals who worked tirelessly during the pandemic knowing they were putting themselves at risk, are heroes - and this book was incredible. This was a brilliant exploration into the after of death. I really appreciated the authors' focus on interacting with the families of the deceased. As someone who works in healthcare, there isn't much opportunity to follow-up and support the families of the deceased, since there are always more patients. Marshall reminds us of how defining grief is to the family.

I recommend the book to people not afraid to reflect on life and death. After all, the author wants the readers to reevaluate their priorities. When we learn that a friend, relative or even acquaintance has experienced the tragedy of losing someone from their lives our first reaction is usually to say ‘sorry for your loss’.

I think it was the sub title of the book or byline of the book “What working with the dead taught me about life” is what really caught my attention and made me want to learn more about the book.
