Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome.

Grief is hard, but it's hardest when it feels like you're the only one. In this empathetic collection, read about a couple dozen other experiences with grief, ranging from the sudden to the long-expected, the loss of a spouse to the death of a parent or sibling to the loss of a child or pregnancy. The experiences of the authors are refreshingly wide-ranging. Beloved partners and family members are mourned, but contributors also write candidly about the complexities of losing an estranged parent, a difficult aunt, a spouse whose cheating is revealed after their death, a teenage child you simply can't afford to take the time to mourn, or someone you never had a chance to really get to know. An honest and platitude-free collection of real stories, this book helps.
