Simone Adler · The Grief You Don't Talk About

Some losses never get
a funeral.

Eight books on the grief nobody sends a card for: the parent who was never really there, the family that went quiet, the self you used to be, the marriage, the job. Real losses that arrive without a ritual to mark them.

The Grief You Don't Talk About, hero

Sound familiar?

If two or more of these land, this collection was written for you.

You are grieving someone who is still alive, and there is no word for that.
The family went quiet and you cannot tell whether you left or were left.
You do not recognise the person in the mirror, and you miss the one who used to be there.
People expect you to be over it, so you stopped mentioning it.

Why these are different

Named, so it stops being your fault

Ambiguous loss, disenfranchised grief, identity loss. Each has a name and a shape, and reading the shape of your own is most of the relief.

Written for losses with no ritual

A death has a funeral. Estrangement, redundancy and divorce have nothing, which is exactly why they take longer.

Honest about where a book stops

Clear throughout about the point at which grief has become something that needs a person, not a chapter.

Each one solves a single problem and stands on its own.

Questions

Is this only about bereavement?

No. One book is about the death of someone you love; the other seven are about losses that are not deaths at all, which are the ones people get least help with.

My parent is still alive. Does this apply?

Yes. Two of the eight are specifically about grieving a parent who was emotionally absent rather than one who has died.

Is this therapy?

No, and it says so. It is a clear account of how these losses work and what helps, with explicit guidance on when to get proper support.

What format are they?

EPUB, which opens on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, phones and tablets. Yours to keep.

About Simone Adler

Simone Adler

Simone Adler writes about the losses that get no funeral and no sympathy card. The Grief You Don't Talk About covers emotional neglect, estrangement, identity loss, redundancy and divorce as grief rather than as problems to be managed.

Her books are written for people who have been told, kindly, that they should be over it by now, and are plain about where reading stops being enough.
