Queering Death

In our six-part series, Queering Death, writer Zena Sharman shows us how to reimagine how we die and mourn, think through our unique situations when it comes to end-of-life planning, reclaim death care, bring pleasure and eroticism into the end-of-life experience and challenge dominant ideas of how we grieve. The pieces in this series allow us to imagine ourselves and our loved ones wholly into our dying days and beyond.
