Review of 'Smoke gets in your eyes' on 'Goodreads'

Smoke gets in your eyes, or death gets in your eyes, or you have to deal with reality… What a thorough and thoughtful exposition of death culture in the US and how exploring options has become more accepted and relevant in today's society! The thought of coming full circle on the expectations and allowances for the living when they experience a death of a loved one is comforting.
