Tyler Feder had just white-knuckled her way through her first year of college when her super-cool mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Feder shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life—from her mom’s first oncology appointment to her funeral through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter. She shares the sting of loss that never goes away, the uncomfortable post-death firsts, and the deep-down, hard-to-talk-about feelings of the grieving process.

I didn’t realize this was a graphic novel when I borrowed the audio from the library. I worried that it wouldn’t make sense, but I found it easy to follow and engage.

This was a touching memoir that pleasantly surprised me. After losing my dad and FIL in one year, I completely related. Tyler localized so many things I’ve felt but didn’t know how to express. Even though the topic is a sad one, she infuses the hope and humor that so often accompanies grief.

Highly recommend for anyone struggling to put their grief into words or for those who know someone working through grief and want to know how they can help/relate.
