Böcker av Susan Crane

The journey of life to death is full of emotions. It starts with the emotions parents feel when they find out you exist. Continues to the day when you enter this world feeling scared and alone, to the day when you experience someone's mortality or being wronged by someone who is now dead to you, on and on until the day someone mourns you. Emotions are intense and find a way into every aspect of your life. Love Life to Death is a journey through that intensity
