‘Full of sense, heart and hope . . . the friend you need when you’re grieving’ PHILIPPA PERRY
‘This book is a game-changer. Listen to it before you need to’ DR KATHRYN MANNIX
‘It’s honest and warm and funny (in all the right places)’ JULIA SAMUEL

When Cariad Lloyd was just fifteen, she became the person-whose-dad-had-died; a mess of emotions and questions. She turned to the Five Stages of Grief model for guidance, but found its framework of loss was hard to reconcile with her messy and non-linear experience of grief.

In this wise and witty book, Cariad shares her grief road map – a collection of years of profound insights from experts and guests featured on her podcast, Griefcast – to remind us that you cannot do grief wrong. The flexibility of the map acknowledges that no two experiences of grief are the same and assists us in building a life around our grief.

So, welcome to the club. We know you didn’t ask to be here. But you will be okay. Because you are not alone.

‘A blackly funny, honest, thought-provoking and compassionate book’ THE TIMES
‘Feels like a warm bath . . . Lloyd's chatty writing style is familiar and funny’ NEW STATESMAN
‘A moving and funny meditation on loss’ OBSERVER

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"We do not talk enough about grief. Often, it is a lonely path. Cariad Lloyd has made it her life's work to make us feel less alone, like we belong to a club, like our grief is both collective and individual, that there is no right way to remember those no longer with us, and that there is great comfort in talking about grief and death. Told with humanity, humour and honesty, this is a book for all of us, because we will all experience grief at some point in our lives, and this book will make us feel less alone." (Dr Nikesh Shukla)

"Stunning... This is a necessary book for all of us, those new to grief, the old hands, or the simply curious to understand. Even though it is about death, it’s a guide book to life." (Aisling Bea)

"It is the secret desire of many artists to make themselves useful and Cariad has achieved just that. A wise, warm and important book."(Robert Webb)

With Cariad, you feel like you are not alone

Cariad gives a true and honest account of how life, death and grief feels. Her insights are not the theoretical, hypothetical or academic kind but those earned from years of thinking, talking and learning from the real life experiences of herself and others. And they are more valuable for being so. This book will be a great comfort to the members of the club that no-one wants to be in, but which we will all join one day.
