“Grief Sucks: But Your Life Doesn’t Have To” with author Brooke Carlock

  • Summary

  • Holly and Elizabeth welcome their very special guest, Brooke Carlock. Listen and be inspired as Brooke shares her experience with multiple losses which includes the traumatic death of her 10 year old daughter just two years ago. She will tell us how her book and the title came to be. Brooke will make you laugh and cry (sometimes in the same exact moment) with her wit and candor.


    From the scenic countryside of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, author, speaker, and educator Brooke Carlock brings a refreshingly pragmatic and humorous approach to the often somber world of grief support. Her debut book, Grief Sucks: But Your Life Doesn't Have To, is far from a conventional self-help book. It is an unfiltered guide through grief, laced with the kind of candid realism only someone who’s faced staggering personal loss can deliver. Beyond the written word, Brooke is a certified grief educator, the host of the “Mourning Coffee” podcast, and the face behind the YouTube channel “Grief Sucks with Brooke Carlock.” You can connect with Brooke on her website at: https://brookecarlock.org.
