Dancing at the Pity Party

作者Tyler Feder剛上大學時，母親被宣告罹癌，直到母親逝世後，長期沉浸在悲傷之中。多年後，終於敞開心扉以漫畫道出與母親最後的時光，苦甜參半描繪失去母親的女兒緩步從巨大且漫長的傷痛之中找回生活。

This acclaimed graphic memoir that Kirkus calls “cathartic and uplifting” is the tale of losing a parent and what it feels like to grieve and to move forward.

“I can’t recommend this kind, funny, and poignant memoir enough. It’s an intimate, life-affirming story of resilience that feels like a good friend.” ―Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?

Tyler Feder had just white-knuckled her way through her first year of college when her super cool mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Tyler shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life―from her mom’s first oncology appointment to her funeral through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter. She shares the sting of loss that never goes away, the uncomfortable post-death firsts, and the deep-down, hard-to-talk-about feelings of the grieving process.

Dancing at the Pity Party is a frank and refreshingly funny look at what it’s like to grieve―for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.
