Story
In 2016, Rob Delaney’s one-year-old son, Henry, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The family had moved from Los Angeles to London with their two young boys when Rob’s wife was pregnant with Henry, their third. The move was an adventure that would bind them even more tightly together as they navigated the novelty of London, the culture clashes, and the funhouse experience of Rob’s fame—thanks to his role as co-creator and co-star of the hit series Catastrophe. Henry’s illness was a cataclysm that changed everything about their lives.

I needed the Kleenex box with me every time I listened. Beautiful, sad, genuine, and loving.

Story
Grief Is for People is a deeply moving and surprisingly suspenseful portrait of friendship, and a book about loss packed with verve for life. Sloane Crosley is one of our most renowned observers of contemporary behavior, and now the pathos that has been ever present in her trademark wit is on full display. After the pain and confusion of losing her closest friend to suicide, Crosley looks for answers in friends, philosophy, and art, hoping for a framework more useful than the unavoidable stages of grief.

Uncomfortable but needed
Reviewed: 06-04-24
It was slow to start but it picked up and that’s when I started to really enjoy it. It made me feel a variety of feelings which is something I crave now in books. The author is talented but a small critique. It’s so well written that at times it doesn’t feel accessible to the everyday reader. I would recommend this.

Story
Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

Genuine, truthful, funny, scary, and well told. I recommend this to anyone. I learned a great deal and have a lot of praise for Dr. Gagne.
