Unf*ck Your Grief

Grief isn’t something we get over—it’s something we move through. And when you’re in the thick of it, whether you’ve lost a person, a pet, a dream, or even your sense of who you are, the pain can feel unbearable. Dr. Faith G. Harper, bestselling author of Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Boundaries, brings her signature blend of neuroscience, compassion, and no-BS wisdom to one of life’s hardest experiences.

This isn’t your typical grief book. Dr. Harper explains what’s actually happening in your brain and body when you grieve—and why allowing yourself to feel it all is the only way through. She covers the many faces of grief: the expected, the traumatic, the long-term, and the complicated. You’ll learn when to seek professional support, how to ask for what you need from the people around you, and how to give yourself permission to heal at your own pace.

There’s also a thoughtful section on how to show up for someone who’s grieving—because let’s be honest, most of us fumble that part. Dr. Harper’s advice is practical, grounded in science, and delivered with a little edge and a lot of heart. It’s wise, occasionally crass, and gently funny in all the right places.

Whether you’re navigating loss yourself or supporting someone who is, this book offers a lifeline. It’s the kind of guide you’ll want on your shelf—or better yet, in your hands.
