Jason Roeder is a finalist for The 2025 Thurber Prize For American Humor in Writing. This book is signed by the author.

Sure, there are other guidebooks aimed at helping you cope with the emotional and practical challenges of losing a loved one. None, however, have been written by a comedy writer whose "therapeutic training" went no further than an undergraduate degree in psychology, and who lived through this terrible experience and emerged intact enough to write a bunch of jokes about it.

What The Daily Show's America (The Book) was to civics and The Onion's Our Dumb Century was to the history of the twentieth century, Jason Roeder's hilarious (and often moving) Griefstrike! is to death, mourning, and somehow getting on with your life.
