The Dead Moms Club: A Memoir about Death, Grief, and Surviving the Mother of All Losses

A humorous and heartfelt memoir about weathering the loss of a parent, with advice and grief survival tips mixed in throughout “The perfect 'how to' book for the unimaginable.” —Casey Wilson, coauthor of The Art of Small Talk Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers, like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one. Poignant and funny, The Dead Moms Club offers sincere guidance and companionship for anyone experiencing the loss of their closest relative.   Read more
