Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents You Are Not Alone by Cariad Lloyd.
Welcome to the club.
I’m still here now, all these years later. You don’t leave once you’ve joined; it’s a life membership. Grief eases and changes and returns but it never disappears.
But you will be okay. Somehow you will be.
When Cariad was just fifteen, her dad died. She became the person-whose-dad-had-died; a mess of emotions and questions; a grief-mess.
Years later, she began trying to unravel this tightly wound grief. What had happened? What effect had it all had on who she was? She started Griefcast, the podcast that talks openly, honestly and at times cheerfully about life’s most difficult moment: its end.
Inspired by her own grief mistakes and lessons, and from the profound and witty insights from her incredible guests – including Philippa Perry, Reverend Richard Coles, Isabel Allende, Nish Kumar and Marian Keyes – Cariad provides a road map for all of us. For anybody who has felt lost in grief, who wants to help someone struggling, or just wants to understand this life a little better. You are not alone.
This audiobook was updated in January 2023.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic Reviews
"We do not talk enough about grief. Often, it is a lonely path. Cariad Lloyd has made it her life's work to make us feel less alone, like we belong to a club, like our grief is both collective and individual, that there is no right way to remember those no longer with us, and that there is great comfort in talking about grief and death. Told with humanity, humour and honesty, this is a book for all of us, because we will all experience grief at some point in our lives, and this book will make us feel less alone." (Dr Nikesh Shukla)
"Stunning... This is a necessary book for all of us, those new to grief, the old hands, or the simply curious to understand. Even though it is about death, it’s a guide book to life." (Aisling Bea)
"It is the secret desire of many artists to make themselves useful and Cariad has achieved just that. A wise, warm and important book."(Robert Webb)

Don’t grieve alone
This book is helpful for those that have lost, and for those around us. Grief is devastating, when you are in the middle of it the things people around you do or say can make a significant difference to how your day goes.
This book is not religious or preachy, it’s hard to say it is enjoyable as frankly nothing is as we (the ones in grief) are dealing with something so terrible it’s hard to know how to get through the day.

Gentle and helpful
This has been the first thing to help me to “not cope”. I love Griefcast, and this book has continued to help me to feel that I was built to carry this grief, even if it feels like it will kill me sometimes. Thank you, Cariad.
