Synopsis

A searching, heartfelt exploration about what it means to process grief, by a bestselling author and journalist who experienced two devastating losses. 

Since losing her mother to cancer in 2018 and her sister to alcoholism three years later, author and journalist Dina Gachman has dedicated herself to understanding what it means to grieve, how to live with loss, and the ways we stay connected to those we miss. Through a mix of personal storytelling, reporting, and insight from experts, Gachman gives readers a fresh take on grief—whether the loss is a family member, beloved pet, or a romantic relationship. No one wants to join the grief club, since membership comes with zero perks, but So Sorry for Your Loss will make that initiation just a little less painful.

I was skeptical as to how helpful this book would be. It turns out So Sorry for Your Loss validated my feelings and echoed many of my thoughts.
