Summary

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。

This book is a quick, easy and thought-provoking read about death, grief and life。 The beautiful illustrations were a feast for the eyes, too。 I mean, Iris Gottlieb is a genius in the way she executed so many interesting aspects of the topic in such a new and innovative way。 I feel like visually this book is on another level, but the written aspect is also amazing。 It's a good book to have on hand at all times, even if death is not a matter you are dealing with currently。 The gentle reminders of This book is a quick, easy and thought-provoking read about death, grief and life。 The beautiful illustrations were a feast for the eyes, too。 I mean, Iris Gottlieb is a genius in the way she executed so many interesting aspects of the topic in such a new and innovative way。 I feel like visually this book is on another level, but the written aspect is also amazing。 It's a good book to have on hand at all times, even if death is not a matter you are dealing with currently。 The gentle reminders of the importance of living intentionally and respecting the processes that we all encounter is just so beautiful and humane。 I loved this short but powerful work! 。。。more

Stumbled upon this in Shakespeare & Company in Paris and ended up reading it。 Sometimes books have interesting timing in finding us。
