Nobody Prepared Me for This: 4 Deadly Sins

Nobody prepares us for grief. Not for the silence that follows the funeral, not for the anger that pulses beneath our skin, not for the guilt that gnaws at what-ifs, or the jealousy of those who still have what we’ve lost.

This book names the unspeakable.

It dismantles the lie of stages and closure. It bears witness to the raw, unflinching truths of mourning: anger, denial, guilt, resentment. The emotions we are told to hide, but which are, in fact, what keep us alive.

Written in lyrical fragments and collective rhythms, Nobody Prepared Me for This is not a guidebook, nor is it comfort in clichés. It is a companion for the nights when the silence is too loud, for the mornings when survival itself feels impossible.

Because grief is not a failure to heal. Grief is love with nowhere to go.

For anyone who has ever felt undone by loss, this book is a mirror and a hand on the shoulder: a reminder that you are not alone, and that even here in the rubble there is a beginning.
