I think every person I know who has dealt with loss says, “Grief Sucks!” Thinking back to the first year without Jim, the only thing I remember saying is “this sucks!” 

It doesn’t adequately describe it - but are there really any words that can? Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show wrote a book with the same sentiments: 

Grief Sucks: But Your Life Doesn’t Have To! 

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."
