N’Drea: One Woman’s Fight to Die Her Own Way by Andrea Dorea, (available at
www.eberhardtpress.org/pdf/ndrea.pdf)
Part of Me Died, Too: Stories of Creative Survival Among Bereaved Children and Teenagers by Virginia Lynn Fry (very mainstream, yet good if you want information about how art can help young children process loss).
Friends Make the Best Medicine by the Icarus Project
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers (amazing honest account of parental loss; beware of blatant “white dude” narrative voice).
The American Way of Death by Jessica Mitford
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion (Ruthlessly honest account of an experience with sudden loss, although the author fails to examine her position of privilege in society and this can be frustrating).
Another Country by James Baldwin (touches on a suicide within a tight-knit group of friends.)
Life is Hello, Life is Goodbye by Alla Renee Bozarth
Swimming in a Sea of Death by David Reiff (Susan Sontag’s son)
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson
The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde
On Death and Dying by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
The Mourner’s Dance: What we do when people die by Katherine Ashenburg
