This is intended for the Advanced Leadership students at Lincoln HS, Seattle WA. This is chapter 11 from "all about love: New Visions" by bell hooks. 

A note: This chapter focuses on death. I believe it to be especially impactful right now, but it also may trigger strong feelings as you listen, especially if you have been impacted by death recently. Grief is a normal, necessary process in which we work through loss of relationships, things, or experiences, but we live in a society that does not encourage the healthy expression of that work. I think this chapter is one of the most valuable of this book, but do be aware that it will impact different people in different ways, depending on our unique lived experiences.
