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.

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. ‘Smart, upbeat and brimming with fortitude’ Observer ‘One of the saddest things I've ever read but also the most powerful. It's made me want to cling tight to the people I love while acknowledging their mortality and mine too.’ Marian Keyes
