‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’

Catherine Mayer and her mother Anne Mayer Bird were widowed at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is their story of supporting each other through whirling grief, ‘sadmin’ and the darkest of times, as they learn to embrace life again.

Now updated with brand new chapters, Good Grief is an essential companion for loss and a testimony to enduring love. Spiked with wry humour, it is an uplifting, moving and unexpectedly joyous read.
