She grappled with grief and found it challenging to express her feelings, particularly as a young woman, realizing that while death is prevalent in our culture, finding appropriate ways to grieve can be difficult. This Inkling combines academic research with personal memoir to explore various aspects of death, including the popularity of murder as entertainment in true crime podcasts, the experiences of women working in the death industry, Naomi's love of horror and her journey as a horror movie writer, the emergence of death peer support groups, and death rituals in different countries. Happy Death Club offers a candid, poignant, and occasionally amusing exploration of death, grief, and bereavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 175 x 120 x 9 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781912489886\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naomi Westerman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46314237952250,"sku":"9781912489886","price":5.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1719662428480_book.jpg?v=1719733969","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/happy-death-club-essays-on-death-grief-bereavement-across-cultures-9781912489886","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
