Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents You Are Not Alone written and read by Cariad Lloyd.
NEW STATESMAN, THE TIMES AND EXPRESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023
‘Full of sense, heart and hope . . . the friend you need when you’re grieving’ PHILIPPA PERRY
‘This book is a game-changer. Listen to it before you need to’ DR KATHRYN MANNIX
‘It’s honest and warm and funny (in all the right places)’ JULIA SAMUEL
When Cariad Lloyd was just fifteen, she became the person-whose-dad-had-died; a mess of emotions and questions. She turned to the Five Stages of Grief model for guidance, but found its framework of loss was hard to reconcile with her messy and non-linear experience of grief.
In this wise and witty book, Cariad shares her grief road map – a collection of years of profound insights from experts and guests featured on her podcast, Griefcast – to remind us that you cannot do grief wrong. The flexibility of the map acknowledges that no two experiences of grief are the same and assists us in building a life around our grief.
So, welcome to the club. We know you didn’t ask to be here. But you will be okay. Because you are not alone.
‘A blackly funny, honest, thought-provoking and compassionate book’ THE TIMES
‘Feels like a warm bath . . . Lloyd's chatty writing style is familiar and funny’ NEW STATESMAN
‘A moving and funny meditation on loss’ OBSERVER
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic Reviews
"We do not talk enough about grief. Often, it is a lonely path. Cariad Lloyd has made it her life's work to make us feel less alone, like we belong to a club, like our grief is both collective and individual, that there is no right way to remember those no longer with us, and that there is great comfort in talking about grief and death. Told with humanity, humour and honesty, this is a book for all of us, because we will all experience grief at some point in our lives, and this book will make us feel less alone." (Dr Nikesh Shukla)
"Stunning... This is a necessary book for all of us, those new to grief, the old hands, or the simply curious to understand. Even though it is about death, it’s a guide book to life." (Aisling Bea)
"It is the secret desire of many artists to make themselves useful and Cariad has achieved just that. A wise, warm and important book."(Robert Webb)

Don’t grieve alone
This book is helpful for those that have lost, and for those around us. Grief is devastating, when you are in the middle of it the things people around you do or say can make a significant difference to how your day goes.
This book is not religious or preachy, it’s hard to say it is enjoyable as frankly nothing is as we (the ones in grief) are dealing with something so terrible it’s hard to know how to get through the day.

Gentle and helpful
This has been the first thing to help me to “not cope”. I love Griefcast, and this book has continued to help me to feel that I was built to carry this grief, even if it feels like it will kill me sometimes. Thank you, Cariad.
