About this listen
The grieving process: Ty Alexander of Gorgeous in Grey is one of the top bloggers today. She has a tremendous personal connection with her listeners. This is never more apparent than when she speaks about her mother. The pain of loss is universal. Yet, we all grieve differently.
For Alexander, the grieving process is one that she lives with day-to-day. Learning from her pain, Alexander connects with her listeners on a deeply emotional level in her debut audiobook Things I Wish I Knew before My Mom Died: Coping with Loss Every Day. From grief counseling to sharing insightful true stories, Alexander offers comfort, reassurance, and hope in the face of sorrow.
Coping with loss: In her early 20s reality smacked Ty in the face. She was ill-equipped to deal with the emotional and intellectual rollercoaster of dealing with her mom's illness. Through her own trial and error, she found a way to be a caregiver, patient advocate, researcher, and a grieving daughter. She wrote Things I Wish I Knew before My Mom Died: Coping with Loss Every Day to help others find the "best" way to cope and move on; however, one personally decides what that means.
Mourning and remembrance: In the chapters of this soul-touching audiobook, mourners will find meaning and wisdom in grieving and the love that will always remain. Each chapter is a study and lesson in coping with loss:
- Chapter 1: We've been duped, everyone dies!
- Chapter 2: When fragmented families grieve
- Chapter 3: The art of losing
- Chapter 4: The how of grieving
- Chapter 5: How to be obsessively grateful
- Chapter 6: Things every mother should tell her daughter
- Chapter 7: Dear Mommy

It’s not judgemental, nor does it say “you must” or “you should” - it simply say “I did this - worked well. I did that - huge mistake”
A Good Listen IMO

Family dysfunction, the emotions, the need to disconnect, the nitty gritty suckiness of death laid out to look upon from my own safety because this is Ty's story not mine and mine is a little too overwhelming but so much is the same. Makes it possible to shift the emotions and enable me to see options and ways to deal with it all.
If you are not keen on swearing this will maybe not be your thing but the swearing was, to me, the exact descriptor for this whole heinous experience.
I am sorry I am in the club, of having lost my Mum, but Ty's book has been exactly what I need today.
Maybe not for everyone but I love, love, loved it!
