The Grieving C.U.N.T

For Mick. And for everyone who's lost their person.

Grief doesn't follow the rules. Neither does this book.

If you've been told to "stay strong" by people who've never lost anyone. If you've laughed in the supermarket and then cried in the car park. If you're tired of pretending you're fine.

No five-stages bullshit. No timelines. No fixing.

Just a Northern Irish woman who has been there, who is still there, telling you the truth about what it really takes to grieve someone you cannot live without, and somehow keep living.

Pour something strong. Light a candle if you want to.

You are not alone in this.
