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

This humorous and heartfelt memoir about weathering the loss of a parent offers comfort, consolation, and practical advice to anyone experiencing grief.

“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 twenty-seven. In The Dead Moms Club, she recounts her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps readers to get through it, too. This isn’t a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, empathetic look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. In prose that’s both poignant and funny, Spencer describes how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life and shares cheeky but useful advice, like an “It's None of Your Business Card” to hand out to nosy strangers.

Updated with a preface on the persistence of grief over time, The Dead Moms Club offers essential guidance and companionship for anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one.
