Death Becomes Us

by Pamela Skjolsvik
Arianne 'Tex' Thompson

Read a sample Read a sample
Woody Allen once said, “I am not afraid of death. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” For most of my life, that was my mantra. Almost everyone with a pulse fears death, but not everyone fears life. With crippling social anxiety, I feared both. But after an accidental call to a funeral home during my mid-life crisis trip to grad school, I reluctantly embarked on a journey to explore professions that dealt with death in order to come to terms with my own mortality. The result of this quirky trip is Death Becomes Us, a humorous memoir about what happens when a middle-aged, anxiety-filled, life-avoider attempts to investigate the last taboo of American culture. "An evocative and insightful exploration of the neglected reality of death in American Society. Gently humorous and heartfelt." Sister Helen Prejean, Author of Dead Man Walking
