Part poignant memoir and part "cathartic and uplifting" (Kirkus Reviews) reflection on a motherless life, this graphic novel is extraordinarily comforting and engaging. "Offers a wealth of perspective about coping with grief."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Equal parts celebration, reflection, and mourning, this graphic memoir touches on the unpredictable path of grief."--School Library Journal, starred reviewTyler Feder had just white-knuckled her way through her first year of college when her super cool mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Tyler shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life--from her mom's first oncology appointment to her funeral and shiva week through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter. She shares the sting of loss that never goes away, the uncomfortable post-death firsts, and the deep-down, hard-to-talk-about feelings of the grieving process--but also the ways a premature death of a loved one can eventually enrich your life. Dancing at the Pity Party is a frank and refreshingly funny look at what it's like to grieve--for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.
