Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Tyler shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life--from her mom's first oncology appointment to her funeral and shiva week through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter. She shares the sting of loss that never goes away, the uncomfortable post-death firsts, and the deep-down, hard-to-talk-about feelings of the grieving process--but also the ways a premature death of a loved one can eventually enrich your life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDancing at the Pity Party\u003c\/i\u003e is a frank and refreshingly funny look at what it's like to grieve--for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTyler Feder\u003c\/b\u003e is a Chicago-based artist whose work explores Big Feelings, feminism, and pop culture. She graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Radio\/TV\/Film and a fancy certificate in Creative Writing for the Media. After college, she studied comedy writing at The Second City Training Center and began posting drawings online, both of which were equal parts thrilling and terrifying. Since then, Tyler has illustrated Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin's \u003ci\u003eUnladylike\u003c\/i\u003e, Leah Henderson's \u003ci\u003eTogether We March\u003c\/i\u003e, and many angsty self-portraits. Tyler wrote and illustrated the acclaimed picture book \u003ci\u003eBodies Are Cool\u003c\/i\u003e, and she continues to sell prints and the occasional portrait at her long-running Etsy shop, Roaring Softly.
