The bad stuff will always be there. There is death and loss. That’s how life rolls. And we know this.

But there’s a lot more good to the bad than we allow ourselves to see most days. We can learn to find the good. It’s there. And who better to show us how to find the best in life than an obituary writer?

“Looking for the good may be part nature, but it can be nurtured. You can teach yourself how to do it,” writes New York Times bestselling author Heather Lende in her new book, Find the Good: Unexpected Life Lessons from a Small-Town Obituary Writer.
