Overview
Welcome to the club that no one ever wants to join but so many of us end up needing. Weāre so sorry that youāre here.
Based on her own experience with griefā the authorās partner died when both were in their late twentiesāand those of other Grief Club members, Janine Kwoh uses brief writings, illustrations, and creative diagrams to explore the wide range of emotions and experiences that grief can encompass. For anyone who has lost a loved one or who is close to someone who is grieving, Welcome to the Grief Club is a book of solace, connection, hope, and reassurance. It addresses with empathy and honesty the aspects of grief that so many of us experience but that arenāt widely discussed: the variety and volatility of emotionsāsadness, anger, guilt, joy; the physical symptoms of grief; and how grief isnāt linear, but it does change and soften over time. It affirms that there is truly no right or wrong way to grieve and assures us that the things we feel that surprise us or seem strange are often common and always valid.
Humor helps us to survive, and the book uses a lighthearted approach to cover powerful topics, like supremely unhelpful things that people say to those who are grieving, grief trigger bingo, and everyday acts of resilience. This book is a companion that says, I see you and you are not alone, from one grieving person to another. It is a gentle reminder to give yourself permission to grieve for as long asāand in whichever waysāyou need.
