Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died by Ty Alexander

Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died by Ty Alexander

In her early 20's reality smacked Ty in the face. She was ill equipped to deal with the emotional and intellectual rollercoaster of dealing with her mom's illness. Through her own trial and error, she found a way to be a caregiver, patient advocate, researcher, and a grieving daughter. She wrote this book to help others find the best way to cope and move on, however one decides, personally, what that means.

“Ty’s book isn’t just self-help; it’s a mix-memoir, detailing her personal experience with the loss of her beloved mother and an inspirational guide on how to battle throughTy’s not telling you how to grieve. She’s offering up her truth and if a piece of it hits home for you, she’s inviting you to take it and run.” —Tia Williams, author of The Perfect Find

“I wish I had read this before I lost my mom a few years ago and a dear friend soon after, both to cancer. Ty Alexander takes you through every phase, from diagnosis to despair to a place of gratitude. Ty's book is an essential companion for your journey through the loss of a loved one." —Nina Lesowitz, author of Living Life as a Thank You
