Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks listeners through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side.

An empathetic listen, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: Both men and women listeners who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for listeners (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).

Two months plus two days ago I became a member of this club...also due to pancreatic cancer. A very supportive friend found this book for me. She said, "She's a comic. I think her style and perspective might work for you, esp as an initial foray. I hope so". She couldn't have been more right. I got the book in audio, I love it. It hit every emotion and thought I am experiencing. I thought this would help me get through the grief faster, but what I found most valuable is it has validated some of the, what I thought were, inappropriate or unusual thoughts and reactions I'd had. Thank you, and your mom, for this poignant yet comforting memoir, "yo go girl"!

I loved this book! It hit home with me since my mom passed from Pancreatic Cancer January 1, 2021. She described exactly how I feel now and in such a way that I am forwarding it to my hubby so he can understand how I feel with the highs and lows. Thanks for writing this!!!!

She’s my kind of girl!

My mom passed July 24th 2018 and this book was very relatable to me... It was great to be able to connect with someone's experience.

Amazing book

In the audiobook preview it stops just before she tells you it’s going to have fowl language. Also have a good bit of reference to the paranormal. If you are not into those things it’s probably better to get the book in writing so you can look over of skip past them. It’s quite jarring to listen to and hard to know how far to skip ahead. Other than that it’s incredibly relatable especially if your mom died of Cancer. It will help you cry.

Would be 5 stars but really fowl language

I lost my mom in April 2020 to lung cancer which spread to her liver and I felt like this was written for me. I related to everything she wrote. I would highly recommend this.

Thank you for this book. I miss her everyday. Two years gone and I still have her number in my phone. I needed to read this book. To have someone acknowledge and understand my loss was the greatest gift. I fully recommend this to all the orphaned mommy's girls and boys. I'm 48 and I still feel lost without her.

This book put into words exactly how I have felt since May 2017, well actually before then when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My life has been turned up side down. Many of my feelings felt wrong or inappropriate. Now they feel normal and justified. I'm glad I'm not alone. I will be recommending this book to all members of the Dead Mom's Club that I know.

Thank you Kate
