This #1 Amazon Best Seller from one of today’s top bloggers is a compassionate guide through the process of grieving for a lost loved one. Ty Alexander has touched many lives with her popular lifestyle blog, Gorgeous in Gray. But in her early 20s, her own life was upended when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Ty was suddenly forced to become not just a loving daughter, but a caregiver, patient advocate, and researcher. And when her mom passed the pain was overwhelming. Though she still grieves every day, her experience has taught her how to move on while still honoring the love that endures. In this beautiful, honest, and intensely personal guidebook, Ty provides the insight and inspiration that every mourner needs to make it through this time of unrelenting emotional pain and sadness. Her deep compassion, understanding, and enlightening true stories will help readers along every step of their grieving journey, from the shock of discovery through anger, disbelief, and despair, and ultimately to acceptance and healing. We all grieve differently, but the pain of loss is universal. Things I Wish I Knew before My Mom Died can provide a reassuring voice, a helping hand, and a shining beacon of hope for anyone who is heartsick and suffering.
