Topic: death and grieving

Anyone have recommendations for an audiobook, podcast, etc. for an Autistic teenager on the subject of death and grieving? There was recently a death in a family, not someone close, but it still brings up questions around mortality.

@hmm_cook This is a very good three-part series on the biblical perspective of death (likened to sleep) and how it applies to us (losing someone feels like an amputation). Mortality with an immortality comfort.

@hmm_cook I've found Caitlin Doughty's work very good. She presents death and the diversity of death customs like a well researched and much loved special interest. She presents many different ways of framing and considering death.

@hmm_cook
It’s a very dark humor approach to dying, but Where there’s a Will There’s A Wake podcast ( you should listen first to a few to see if you think it’s appropriate). Kathy Burke interviews celebs (mostly UK) who talk about their whole future death, from what they’d want for last supper, for who gives eulogy, what’s in the will, etc., how they think they’ll die, etc…
It’s irreverent and often interesting and funny.
