A beautiful, illustrated reflection on death, mortality, and what it means to be human. It is an unavoidable fact of life that one day, you will die. Until very recently, death was a subject that many people hid from. But in a post-pandemic world in which a new generation is beginning to care for aging parents, it's time to start talking about dying. In this at-times-heartbreaking yet heartwarming book, author and illustrator Iris Gottlieb explores death from all angles-from the physical, such as the ways your remains could be handled, to the emotional, including grief and grappling with your own mortality. And by the end, you will start to answer the question, So how do you live with death? Part explainer, part conversation-starter, and part helping hand to accept the inevitable, Everything Is Temporary will encourage conversations with loved ones and invite introspection to find more internal peace.

Like You Died: An Anthology of the Afterlife this is an illustrated contemplation of mortality and the unknowable nature of the afterlife.
I might contest an assertion here or there, but I rather agree with the central concept of acknowledging death as an inevitability, reflecting on and grieving about that as part of living, while accepting that it will still be painful and scary to experience when it happens to others or comes for you.
My main quibble is that the book is a bit brief and shallow, tending toward pages that are more meme ready than worthy of deep contemplation. But it is still a useful prod down uncomfortable corridors of thought. ( )
