Precis: June Nadel a mortician, Finished talking to a mother  who lost her  new born son  his  because esophagus  was swallon and  the doctor came to late.  In this part of the book, she spoke about people coping with the death with a family member or a friend.  This will also be the frist time she buried a dog and losing a close friend.

Qoutes:

" Jim opened his car door for me. I laid the baby on the seat." How'd you do it?" he asked. My larynx hurt as though hands were clasped around it like a vise. Hoping he couldn't hear my sadness, I said softly " When you become a mother, you won't ask such dumb questions"pg 24

"Admired her for wanting to give her childern a lesson on death and showing them one way to cope with it. I acquiesced,  I never  done this before, but its not impossible." pg 27

" My own childern were to work with me on occasions.  It was simply  a part of their lives. Without my prompting, they chose their own caskets by the age of ten." pg 30

" I was angry with God for not " taking care" of Erma. Her death seemed grossly unfair." pg 41

Analysis: 

This chapter explains the cope of someone’s death, She nerved buried a dog before but she did it because she liked the fact that the lady violet wanted to teach her children about death.  June realized she rather have someone cope with death than have a misunderstanding about it. When June helped the lady with the child that died because she is a mother herself, she wanted the lady to understand that her baby died and it’s time for her to let go, but while she took the baby, she felt bad because of the sadness she will be dealing with. What I noticed about June is that even though she is a mortician, it was hard for her to deal with her friend’s death, she had the same thoughts of a person who misunderstands death, which I thoughts was interesting.  June does not seemed confused about death, or have lack of knowledge helping people with death. She is a kind and sincere to people that have anxiety about death.
