Good Mourning A Practical and Occasionally Inappropriate Guide to Grief

Grief sucks. Here's a book that doesn't.

Whether you're buried in paperwork, ugly-crying into your cereal, or wondering if your brain has left the building - this book gets it. Good Mourning is part practical guide, part emotional survival manual, and part late-night phone call with your weird therapist friend who won't flinch when you bring up ghosts, dissociation, or the creeping dread of holidays.

Inside, you'll find step-by-step help for early logistics (like funerals, paperwork, and awkward family dynamics), tender guidance for when your body and brain feel totally hijacked, and real talk about grief's greatest hits: anxiety, exhaustion, messy relationships, social weirdness, and the overwhelming pressure to "function." There's space here for the complicated grief, the not-so-nuclear families, the grief that shows up in Instagram memories or strained conversations, and the kind that lingers for years.

Sprinkled throughout are grounding tools, reflection prompts, grief rituals, and the occasional F-bomb, plus conversations about mourning the living, supporting kids, talking to the dead (no judgment), and surviving your own digital ghosts.

This isn't just a grief book. It's the grief book. This is the one you'll reach for when it all falls apart, when you're asking yourself "What the hell do I do now?" or when someone you love is in the thick of it and you have no idea what to say. Even if you're not actively grieving, this is your future self's favorite resource. Trust me: you'll be glad you have it when the shit hits the fan.

This book won't tell you to move on or find closure. It will meet you where you are - confused, devastated, defiant, or dissociated - and walk with you from there.

Welcome to the club you never asked to join. Let's figure this out together.
