She's in a better place now,' adults say again and again when someone dies. But it doesn't seem better, It'seems stupid. This forthright exploration of grief and mourning recognises the anger, confusion and fear that we feel about death - but refuses to succumb to banalaties when talking about it. Necessary and beautiful, Death is Stupid is an invaluable tool for talking about death, but also the possibilities for celebrating life and love.
