I also lost my mom in 2009, although I was 31 at the time. So much of this book resonated with me. I didn't expect to cry, but tears slipped down my face all the way through this beautiful book, even when I was laughing at the same time. Thank you, Tyler, for sharing this gift (and the gift of your mom, who sounds awesome!) with us, particularly those of us who are members of the Dead Moms Club. ( ) Gr 8 Up—Feder manages the near impossible—a memoir about joining "the Dead Moms Club" that's palpable in its depiction of grief yet also exuberant, uplifting, and funny. Using a pastel-infused palette and creatively placed lists, asides, and diagrams, she lovingly remembers her mother, explores the less talked about aspects of loss, and offers a balm to anyone confronting the death of a parent. Tyler Feder was 19 when her mom died of cancer. This memoir describes her life with and without her mom: closeness with her two younger sisters and her dad, the Jewish tradition of sitting shiva, the awkwardness of conversations with other people, the closeness she feels with others in the dead mom club. Quotes I still find myself searching for a book (or movie or website or, I don't know, snap story??) that cradles my grief without smothering it. (8) "Was that it?" one of us asked the nurse. I don't remember who. She nodded. And that was it. (69) But the hardest question was: [Tyler standing in a black dress, gray background, surrounded by "How are you?" speech balloons] (98) Dos and Don'ts for Dealing with a Grieving Person (list, 110) It was my first real taste of the shadow of her death laid over every aspect of my life, even the totally unimportant ones. (124) The New Normal is like the old normal, except that everything is tinged with a secret sadness. (148) As the years continue to pass, I worry that I'm forgetting her. I feel like I'm on one of those moving walkways at the airport and I can see her getting smaller and smaller as I travel slowly into the future without her.
