The Dead Moms Club: A Memoir about Death, Grief, and Surviving the Mother of All Losses by Kate Spencer

emotional medium-paced

4.0

I reached for this book because Kate and I share similar experiences, and I often wondered if I was reading my own diary entries. When your mom dies, it feels like such an isolated incident, like no one else has suffered her mother’s death before. Kate makes you feel seen and heard without offering any sort of platitudes that always feel disingenuous because she knows nothing she says will bring our moms back. What she offers instead is a space to sit with our grief in the loneliest club on the planet.
