Summary

Inspired by her award-winning podcast, Griefcast, You Are Not Alone is Cariad Lloyd's frank, funny and compassionate exploration of grief。

'This book doesn't offer you an exit, just suggestions on how to navigate grief。 To help you as you learn grief's brutal but beautiful lesson; that grief will change and grow and diminish and reappear, it will be with you forever, you will learn to build a life around it, to carry it。 It will be ok, you will be ok。 Somehow, you will be。 You are not alone。'

Cariad was just fifteen years old when her father died。 At the time, death was still a taboo, and grief even more so。 No one was talking about what it really felt like, the tears, the laughter, the pain - the truth of grief。

Years later, she found she needed a place where she could finally be honest about this strange human emotion, so she created the Griefcast podcast, starting a conversation about one of the most significant moments of all our lives: the end。

You Are Not Alone is a road map for all of us: for anybody who has ever felt lost in grief, who wants to help someone in theirs, or who just wants to understand life a little better。

I thoroughly enjoyed this! It was incredibly illuminating about how we believe we “ought” to grieve and how the whole concept a) got ingrained into our psyche as a society in the first place and b) why it needs completely rethinking! Compassionate, informative, comforting but hard-hitting, especially the chapter where you’re encouraged to consider your own death and what you can do to make it easier for loved ones, and to give you a sense of control over the inevitable。 This book is sensitively I thoroughly enjoyed this!
