A Good Death Book by Margaret Rice, 2019
A Good Death is a guide to facilitate much needed conversation and provide resources for grief management and palliative care.
When her own mother died, author Margaret Rice realised how completely unprepared she and her family had been for the experience of companioning a loved one who is dying. So she decided to go in search of the information she couldn’t find when she most needed it and write the book herself – A Good Death – a novice’s guide to death.
A Good Death by Margaret Rice is available to purchase via Booktopia or Dymocks
Talking about death
In August 2019, Margaret Rice was a guest of the Canberra Writer’s Festival.
“Two universal events bookend our lives: we are all born and we will all die. But we live in a period of intense death denial. Why is it that we cannot have a conversation about death and dying? With the recent legislation of euthanasia in Victoria, has the ultimate taboo been broken? Journalist and author of the successful blog Good Grief! and A Good Death, Margaret Rice joins Suharsha Kanathigoda, Director of Palliative Care ACT and Melissa Reader, CEO of LifeCircle Australia in a candid and compassionate conversation.”
