New York Times bestselling author KRIS CARR shares (embarrassing, painful, helpful, and often hilarious) stories and observations in this transformational book about loss, grief, and what to expect when you’re not expecting your world to fall apart.

A few years ago, Kris, a highly popular wellness leader who has educated and empowered millions for nearly two decades, found herself in the midst of a major life rupture—that moment when your worst fears are being realized. Her father was dying, her business was faltering, and her 20-year anniversary of living with an incurable stage IV cancer was on the horizon. But, as Kris found, “Even the worst ruptures can reveal a road map to our next chapter of fully alive living.”

In I’m Not a Mourning Person, Kris couples her signature wit and raw storytelling with tools and practices to help you tend to your most painful wounds with fierce grace. When your life has been turned upside down—whether by the dissolution of a relationship or marriage; the end of a job or career; or, like Kris, the grief of illness or death—it may feel easier to deny or bury whatever big, messy feelings threaten to overwhelm you. As Kris reveals, however, “When we’re brave enough to tend to our hearts, our messy emotions can teach us how to be free—not free from pain, but free from the fear of pain and the barrier it creates to fully living.”
