Death Book Review: That Good Night by Sunita Puri (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I didn’t learn much that was new from That Good Night. But I absolutely loved watching Sunita Puri learn.I spend a lot of time talking about death, supporting dying people and encouraging others to have conversations they’d probably rather avoid, so much of what Sunita explores in this book was familiar territory.

Death Book Review - The Household Guide to Dying by Debra Adelaide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I read The Household Guide to Dying in less than three days. I couldn’t put the bloody thing down.

Death Book Review - Briefly Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m back again with another monthly death book review. This month we read Briefly, Perfectly Human by death doula Alua Arthur. I’d expected something along the lines of Kathryn Mannix’s With the End in Mind or Julie McFadden’s Nothing to Fear. Both use stories from clinical practice to help us understand dying. Alua’s book does that too, but in a completely different way.This is as much Alua’s own story as it is the story of the people she accompanies. Her life, relationshi

If you live in South Shields, you’ll probably know Westoe Village Fayre.It’s one of the highlights of the town’s calendar. Every summer, the street filsl with people enjoying one of the biggest community events we have.
