This memoir explores the first 365 days following the death of my father. I write frankly about the moment of diagnosis, the experience of becoming a carer for a parent and shed light on the psychological and physical symptoms of bereavement.

​

The book takes the reader between London, Atlanta and Los Angeles weaving together the experience of grieving and a narrative of reconciling memory and loss.

In 2018 I lost my father to cancer less than 2 months after he was diagnosed.​ 

I was 24 and at the time found very little literature or support aimed specifically at young adults, with most aimed at children, or to people who have lost spouses. After a year of living with my grief, feeling isolated while battling societal expectations that come with being in your twenties and living in London, I decided to write the book I desperately needed at the time, in the hope it will help others.

It is part self-help and part memoir, structured so the reader can dip in and out and written so both those grieving and their support network can benefit from it. 

Ultimately, I offer a voice for grieving young adults, with the aim of showing them they are not alone.
