I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite.

It means a lot that Reading Well has books on dealing with loss. It's something that many parents experience. It's also why No One Talks About This Stuff is deliberately intersectional: grief and loss don't exist in a vacuum. They are informed by who you are. It's a support group in a book.
