Nobody teaches you how to grieve. This is the strange truth at the center of an experience so common it touches every person who has ever lived long enough to lose someone.
A hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken. From the neuroscience of loss to the mourning rituals of the Torajan highlands, the burning ghats of Varanasi, and the jazz funerals of New Orleans, this book traces grief across biology, history, culture, economics, and the deeply personal.
At its center is a single instruction, overheard in a Newark cafe twenty-five years ago, that contains an entire philosophy of human obligation: Go to every funeral.
