SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS: How i Learned to live with grief, and other grave concerns April 11 2023 Union Square & co

NOW IN ITS SECOND PRINTING

Available HERE

A poignant, personal exploration of grief… Gachman perceptively puts words to the uncomfortable realities of loss and deconstructs its social myths, helping readers feel less alone. Those facing loss will find solace here.—Publishers Weekly

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS is a monument to the work of remembering and a testament to the immutable love of family and the grief that forever changes us. Dina Gachman writes with compassion and honesty, at once heartbreakingly human and mordantly funny. Suffused with tender emotion and unsparing reflection on what it means to lose, how we grieve, and how we survive that grief, So Sorry for Your Loss is a deeply moving book that will never leave you. --Lauren Hough, NYT bestselling author of LEAVING ISN'T THE HARDEST THING

So Sorry for Your Loss is a powerful and indispensable book that is unlike any book on grief that I’ve previously found. Gachman shares her own moving story while offering advice that is both clear and forgiving. The world is full of books that tell you what not to say to someone grieving; I love that Gachman stresses that (with only a few exceptions) anything is better than silence. This is a book suffused with humor and grace, and one that I will keep close at hand to help guide me when I need to comfort others—and myself."—Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of THE END OF YOUR LIFE BOOK CLUB

Dina Gachman’s SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS is a collection of essays that masterfully explores grief in all its sacred intricacies. It is vulnerable and generous, and while anyone who has experienced grief knows nothing can alleviate its sting, it does offer us a valuable comfort: that you are not alone.--Marisa Renee Lee, author of GRIEF IS LOVE

“Poignantly honest and often morbidly amusing… an offbeat offering of comfort, laughter, and peace.” Library Journal

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS is a luminous collection examining collective and individual grief. In her moving essays, Gachman takes readers on a wide and careful journey, one that made me feel less alone, and thankful for her deep empathy and intelligence. --Amanda Eyre Ward, NYT bestselling author of the Reese W pick, THE JETSETTERS, and THE LIFEGUARDS
