Hey guys, I need some books/authors recommendations. Recently I've been extremely related with death (a lot of close people and family members died suddenly, at similar dates). Up until now (22), I had never experienced death, and I'm sincerely overwhelmed and lost about how to face it.

I'm a philosophy graduate so my go-to method when something irks me is to read authors (aka people more intelligent than me) that talk about the subject that I'm worried about to see If they help me understand it or, at least, feel like I'm not alone in my worries. I've already read Being and Time (with the help of a guide, the book was pretty complicated) and Derrida's "The gift of death" (this was my first attempt at reading Derrida and it proved quite the task), but I'm still quite lost and I dont know what more authors to read.

I'm an atheist, so I'm not asking about books that give me hope about death. What I'm interested in is to know how to relate to death (I don't know if this expression is correct, pardon my english in general). Thank you for reading me and thanks to those who answer. I'll be cheking the post.

I was waiting for a chance to delve into Tolstoi, so this is a wonderful recommendation. Thanks, I'll definitely read it. Any other work come to mind?
