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

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book however I felt validated and comforted in my grief. I lost my mum whilst working through this book and still found it helpful to finish.

I was quite disappointed in the delivery of this book. Looking for something to help me with my pain as it was a year coming up to the anniversary and I’m currently really struggling. I listen to this book and it’s about this lady’s amazing life. Where she was spoilt, had a mum who met her every need. (Not everyone was that lucky)
Then the two words - Thug and tears were put together to portray sensitive ness, to portray her worst moments. When she lost her mother.
I don’t feel that would connect with everyone. It certainly didn’t connect with me. I don’t feel like my tears were violent.
I mean what do you relate the word thugs with? It’s not really a compassionate word I would relate to grief.. it felt a little crass.
I had to turn it off. I didn’t have my need to feel at peace or learn something met by this book. I just felt angry and that I didn’t connect at all to anything because it was a biography not a book about grief.
Biography not a book on grief
