This acclaimed graphic memoir that Kirkus calls cathartic and uplifting is the tale of losing a parent and what it feels like to grieve and to move forward.I cant recommend this kind, funny, and poignant memoir enough. Its an intimate, life-affirming story of resilience that feels like a good friend. -Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?Tyler Feder had just white-knuckled her way through her first year of college when her super cool mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Tyler shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life-from her moms first oncology appointment to her funeral through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter. She shares the sting of loss that never goes away, the uncomfortable post-death firsts, and the deep-down, hard-to-talk-about feelings of the grieving process.Dancing at the Pity Party is a frank and refreshingly funny look at what its like to grieve-for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.
