THE TIMES NO. 7 BESTSELLER 'A blackly funny, honest, thought-provoking and compassionate book' THE TIMES ‘Full of sense, heart and hope’ PHILIPPA PERRY ‘Cariad Lloyd has changed the way we speak about grief’ SARA PASCOE _______________ Welcome to the club. I’m still here now, all these years later. You don’t leave once you’ve joined; it’s a life membership. Grief eases and changes and returns but it never disappears. But you will be okay. Somehow you will be. When Cariad was just fifteen, her dad died. She became the person-whose-dad-had-died; a mess of emotions and questions; a grief-mess. Years later, she began trying to unravel this tightly wound grief. What had happened? What effect had it all had on who she was? She started Griefcast, the podcast that talks openly, honestly and at times cheerfully about life’s most difficult moment: its end. Inspired by her own grief mistakes and lessons, and from the profound and witty insights from her incredible guests – including Philippa Perry, Reverend Richard Coles, Isabel Allende, Nish Kumar and Marian Keyes – Cariad provides a road map for all of us. For anybody who has felt lost in grief, who wants to help someone struggling, or just wants to understand this life a little better. You are not alone. _______________ 'It’s honest and warm and funny (in all the right places)' JULIA SAMUEL 'A comfy companion for anyone struggling after the death of someone close' BBC NEWS ‘A book that you should read before grief takes over your life' FI GLOVER

NEW STATESMAN, THE TIMES AND EXPRESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 ‘Full of sense, heart and hope . . . the friend you need when you’re grieving’ PHILIPPA PERRY ‘This book is a game-changer. Read 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 . . .
