#87 Books About Grief & Death

This episode was a special request from a listener. Sarah and Jenny discuss their experiences with grief and recommend some reads, we promise it's not completely depressing! That being said we do discuss cancer, miscarriage, suicide, sudden death and more, so if you find these topics upsetting then please do give this episode a miss. We've bookmarked where we start talking books if you would like to skip our personal experiences. We hope you enjoy the episode and if you've got any other special requests send them our way!
