A book full of comfort

On average, around 100,000 Belgians die each year: always someone's child, sometimes someone's parent, usually someone's lover. For every death, a multitude of loved ones remain behind.
Saying goodbye to a loved one is part of life, but in our culture, death is rarely discussed. This book does. Nine 'experts by experience' talk about the loss of a loved one, testify how they tried to process that loss and where they found comfort. The recognizability of the stories of Herr Seele, Johan Boskamp, ​​Jeroen De Praetere, Sandrine André, Begga D'Haese, Celie DeHaene, Martine Jonckheere, Annie Geeraerts and Lyndsey Pfaff will give many readers a boost, because no one is alone in their grief.
But 'A book full of comfort' is much more than a collection of candid testimonies. When a loved one dies, you are touched to the depths of your soul and at that very moment you have to meet a whole series of practical obligations. Who needs to be notified? What are the options for a funeral? Do you choose burial or cremation? What do you have to think about? What is the role of the undertaker? And what does it all cost? Important questions because you only get one chance to arrange the funeral the way you want it or the way the deceased wanted it. This book answers these and many other questions.
'A book full of comfort' will stir emotions and encourage reflection. But it will undoubtedly also offer practical help and support at that inevitable moment of saying goodbye that we all face sooner or later
