Story
In Grief is Love, author Marisa Renee Lee reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one—healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. It is about learning to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment you did when they were alive, perhaps even more. She guides you through the pain of grief—whether you’ve lost the person recently or long ago—and shows you what it looks like to honor your loss on your unique terms, and debunks the idea of a grief stages or timelines.

Story
Although a mother's mortality is inevitable, no book has discussed the profound lasting and far reaching effects of this loss until Motherless Daughters. More than 20 years later, it is still the go-to book that women of all ages look to for comfort, help, and understanding when their mother dies. Building on interviews with hundreds of mother-loss survivors, Edelman's personal story of losing her mother, and recent research in grief and psychology, Motherless Daughters reveals the shared experiences and core identity issues of motherless women.

Publisher's Summary
Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks listeners 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 listen, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: Both men and women listeners who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for listeners (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).

If you're a member of this club, get this book
I lost my Mom on November 9th to a very aggressive form of lung cancer which rapidly spread to her bones, liver, lymph nodes, and probably elsewhere. We got her official diagnosis 4 days before she passed.... so to say there was no time was an understatement. This book perfectly describes the chaos of losing a loved one to cancer, and the immeasurable pain & the overwhelming confusion that goes along with it. I've literally never related to anything more, and I'm so grateful for that.... this is a club I wouldn't recommend anyone join, but it's a club we may all be members of some day. This book has helped me immensely through the transition of having a mom to not having a mom.... and I'm eternally grateful for it!

Perfect mix of humour and depth
This book is an absolute necessity for any motherless daughters. I don’t think I have ever laughed and cried at the same time. Seriously, if your mom is dead, buy this.

Did I write this?
I cried, I laughed, I cried and cried and cried some more. This is the most relatable book I’ve ever read. We didn’t chose this club, it chose us and we are not alone.
