Inspired by her award-winning podcast,Griefcast,You Are Not Alone is Cariad Lloyd's frank,funny and compassionate exploration of grief.
When Cariad Lloyd lost her father at the age of fifteen,people didn't talk about death. Years later,when she created Griefcast,it started a conversation that people didn't realise they needed until it was there,about one of the most significant events in a person's life: its end.
In You Are Not Alone,Cariad shares all that she has learned from Griefcast. She reflects on her own grief,the grief of others,and the psychology and science behind how our society deals with death and loss. Funeral thoughts,therapy,coping with anniversaries,bad friends,good friends,birthdays,weddings,missing them,not missing them - this is grief in all its sad,surprising,awkward,tender and sometimes funny forms.
You Are Not Alone is a road map for all of us: for anybody who has ever felt lost in grief,who would like to help someone they know through theirs,or who just wants to understand life a little better.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'This book is a game-changer,a grief companion for our time... practical,kind,honest,generous. Read it before you need to. You can thank me later'- Dr Kathryn Mannix
'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
