Description

'A comforting support group in book form. A must-read for grievers.'
Ellidy Pullin

'Good Mourning is a gift - the package you leave on the doorstep of anyone rocked by grief when you don't have the words.'
-Jessie Stephens, author of Heartsick

Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn met after the sudden deaths of their mothers only months apart. Their experiences led them to launch a podcast, and their no-holds-barred, relatable approach to talking about grief sparked a growing following of people eager to have honest conversations about what it really feels like to deal with loss.

Good Mourning is a compassionate survival guide for anyone dealing with grief - the kind of book Sal and Im wish they'd had to help them through the dark times. Here they shine a light on the many ways grief can impact our lives (hello ugly crying, exhaustion and 'grief brain'). Along with expert advice from clinical psychologist Tamara Cavenett and warm words and insights from hundreds of others who've experienced grief, the authors offer practical tips on coping with isolation and loneliness, navigating grief at work, managing milestones and so much more.

Whether you're one month in or ten years down the track, Good Mourning will help you make sense of life after loss - and know that you're not alone.

Author Bio

Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn are co-hosts of the podcast Good Mourning and creators of the Instagram account @goodmourningpodcast.

Sally (36) and Imogen (35) met at a grief support event after both suddenly losing their mothers only months apart. They instantly bonded over their shared losses, finding healing through their connection.


Struck by the lack of resources that spoke about grief in an honest yet uplifting way - about the brain fog, exhaustion, anxiety and host of other elements - Sal and Im decided to do something about it and launched Good Mourning in September 2020. Their fresh take and authentic experience quickly resonated, finding an engaged audience and growing into an online community of nearly 100,000 fellow grievers worldwide.


In addition to their work on Good Mourning, Sally is a life coach and senior communications consultant and Im has worked on some of Australia's leading reality television shows as well as caring for her four-year-old daughter.
