I am not really sure what kind of books I’m looking for, exactly, but I just got done watching a movie and it was heavy on death and accepting that death is something you cannot avoid. I was wondering if you guys could help recommend me some books that would help me process death and help put my mind at ease? I really want to learn about death. Not in a grotesque manner, in a philosophical/spiritual direction, if that makes sense? I’m not really good at explaining things, but hopefully someone understands what I am trying to say. Would this fall under philosophy, or?

This is going to sound kinda strange, but I read a book on consciousness, that gave me a better feeling overall about death. It was called, Consciousness, A Graphic Guide by David Papnineau & Howard Selina.
Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, by Mary Roach
Check out Epicurus’s writings on death for a dense philosophical take– I have some qualms with his claims, but he’s hard to refute. Hope this helps!
