"I'm Not a Mourning Person: Braving Loss, Grief, and the Big Messy Emotions That Happen When Life Falls Apart" by Kris Carr is a transformational book that shares the author's raw, personal experience with profound loss and grief. Kris Carr, a New York Times bestselling author and wellness leader, writes candidly about facing her father's death, her own cancer diagnosis, and the upheaval in her business, revealing how embracing grief led to healing rather than avoidance.

Through a blend of poignant, sometimes humorous stories and practical tools, Kris invites readers to brave their most difficult emotions with fierce grace. The book teaches that grief and pain are not obstacles but catalysts for growth, self-discovery, and living fully. It offers comfort and a roadmap for anyone navigating life’s ruptures—whether caused by illness, death, relationship endings, or career changes—helping readers find freedom not from pain, but from the fear of pain.
