Summary
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

Excellent for newbies of the motherless tribe
Loved every moment of it. It was very recognisable, and yet hopeful. Had a laugh, and shed a tear

Maybe not for everyone but I love, love, loved it!
This is titled Things "I" wish I knew before my Mom died. Not what you should feel/do when your Mum dies. It isn't a self help book. It doesn't tell you what to do. She explains her experience and I found SO much resonates that I can see normality in my experience and emotions with the resultant lightening of my load to see that there is a tomorrow and another and another.
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.

Loved this so much
This was an interesting listen for the first half. But the second part blew me away as it was so close to my own experience and resonated with me so much that I found it extremely comforting. Definitely worth a listen if you’re in the ‘lost my Mum’ club.

I bubble snot cried
Having lost both my mother and my father by the ages of 23 this book was a whole deep dive back into my grief, but not in a bad way. Now, at 30, I have grown as a person and learned so much about myself. I could relate so much to Ty and her experience. A very realistic book about grief. Would recommend to anyone
