How to Help Someone Die

"I wrote this for me. But maybe it’s for you."

Nobody tells you what to do when someone you love is dying. Not really. The literature that exists is about acceptance, peace, and letting go. But what if the person dying doesn't want to go? And what if you don't want them to?



This is the book the author wished had existed when she helped her parents die. Raw, funny, unflinching, and entirely unlike any grief memoir you have read, How to Help Someone Die is part practical guide, part confessional, part love letter — to the people we lose, and to the strange, gutting privilege of being the one who stays.
