Why this book should exist

I lost my brother and my career within six months of each other. I tried to write about it as a software engineer. I noticed grief has a runtime, a memory leak, a recursion.

There is no good book for the people who are mourning a person and a job, a country, a faith, a self — at the same time. So I wrote one.

It's not a memoir. It's not self-help. It's a small, honest manual for processing two losses at once.

The promise

A short, surprisingly funny, deeply useful book for the modern adult mourning more than one thing — and a vocabulary for the kind of grief no one names.
