Losing Young

‘It’s well-researched and engagingly written, covering everything from sex after grief, how mourning is approached differently throughout the world and returning to work after loss. A must-read for anyone wanting to understand their own grief better, feel less alone – or even learn more about this important part of life more generally’ INDEPENDENT ‘Thoughtfully and beautifully written, but most important of all, an incredibly useful take on facing grief as a young person’ CARIAD LLOYD, author of YOU ARE NOT ALONE and host of GRIEFCAST 'A brilliantly, brilliantly written exploration of young grief. Endlessly absorbing, it is packed with clarity, curiosity and courage' FELIX WHITE, guitarist for THE MACCABEES and author of IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER SOMEWHERE ‘The truth is, it has turned on so many lights for me that I had to read slowly, carefully and with space to reflect. I've met familiar ideas I didn't know I carried, I've had assumptions challenged and anxieties assuaged. I feel I've attended a masterclass about supporting my bereaved friends, taught by a kind and patient expert speaking with love from the heart of her loss … What a profoundly helpful book’ KATHRYN MANNIX, author of WITH THE END IN MIND AND LISTEN 'An important and insightful book about the loneliness of grief and the transformative power of community' GAVANNDRA HODGE, author of THE CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE ‘As an educationalist, I have seen far too many children lose parents and others dear to them. This book is full of wisdom and compassion and will help many far and wide’ ANTHONY SELDON
