💔 The friendship apocalypse(who disappears vs. who shows up)
🧬 The inheritance that isn't money(anxiety, patterns, and quirks you didn't ask for)
💬 Talking to dead people is normal(the ongoing relationship nobody mentions)
🎫 There's no graduation from grief(lifetime membership explained)
T.O. Whenham lost his mother to cancer 17 years ago, and his father died suddenly in 2019. Through it all, he has discovered that losing your parents kicks your ass, and that everything people tell you about grief is either wrong or incomplete. After years of figuring it out the hard way, he's writing the book he wishes someone had given him when his parents died.
Author of the upcoming book "So, Your Parents are Dead..." and founder of Dead Parents Press.
