"Welcome to the Grief Club-a place where one human who experienced a terrible loss, Janine Kwoh, is at the door to welcome other humans who are grieving. It is not an instruction manual, or a step-by-step playbook, or a memoir. It is, rather, a fresh, empathetic approach to all of the surprising, confusing, brutal, funny, and downright bizarre parts of grief. Combining her own experiences with grief-the author's partner died when both were in their late 20s-with what she learned from others in her "griefclub," Kwoh uses brief writings and observations, hand-drawn illustrations, and diagrams to explore all the different ways grief happens-plus wisdom and understanding in every line. Grief isn't linear, but it does change and will soften over time. It is a book to put into the hands of anyone who is grieving, because from its very first page, that person will know they are no longer alone"--,Provided by publisher.
