Good grief / Catherine Mayer & Anne Mayer Bird. - Updated edition. - London : HQ, 2022. - 351 pages ; 20 cm.
Previous edition: 2020.
Catherine Mayer and her mother, Anne Mayer Bird, lost their beloved husbands just 41 days apart on the eve of the pandemic. Entering the nation-wide lockdown as new widows, they began meeting every week (socially distanced and in protective clothing) as Catherine cared for her mother and both women learned to navigate loss, 'sadmin', and unexpected dramas. As well as tracing their intertwined stories of love and grief, Catherine and Anne share their thoughts, ideas and advice for anyone facing the loss of a loved one or wishing to know how best to support others in these circumstances. They confront the unspoken fears and unhelpful stereotypes that leave so many unprepared to deal with death and unsure how to comfort anyone experiencing loss.
