Inspired by the website that the New York Times hailed as redefining mourning, this book is a fresh and irreverent examination into navigating grief and resilience in the age of social media, offering comfort and community for coping with the mess of loss through candid original essays from a variety of voices, accompanied by gorgeous two-color illustrations and wry infographics.

At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it's clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map.

Let's face it: most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We're awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit.

Enter Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner, who can help us do better. Each having lost parents as young adults, they co-founded Modern Loss, responding to a need to change the dialogue around the messy experience of grief. Now, in this wise and often funny book, they offer the insights of the Modern Loss community to help us cry, laugh, grieve, identify, and--above all--empathize.

Soffer and Birkner, along with forty guest contributors including Lucy Kalanithi, singer Amanda Palmer, and CNN's Brian Stelter, reveal their own stories on a wide range of topics including triggers, sex, secrets, and inheritance. Accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and witty how to cartoons, each contribution provides a unique perspective on loss as well as a remarkable life-affirming message.

Brutally honest and inspiring, Modern Loss invites us to talk intimately and humorously about grief, helping us confront the humanity (and mortality) we all share. Beginners welcome.

--Damon Lindelof, co-creator of Lost and The Leftovers

Well build and functions nicely
The products build quality is excellent; in fact, its far superior to this product's competitor, "Batdiary". This mount stays locked in place when i use one hand to mount my phone or remove it. Also, the internal mechanism is much nicer than the Batdiary one and feels like it has tighter and more accurate machining tolerances which should prevent it from rattling like its competitor's did after a couple weeks use. I highly recommend this product, it is worth the high price tag!

Buy once, cry once
This Offroam phone mount is not the cheapest option, but it is easily the most functional and sturdy one available, especially for second-generation Toyota Tacomas. I went through several plastic phone mounts before this and should have bought this one from the start to save both money and frustration. Installation was very simple, and it is even easier to use day to day. I like that this mount uses adjustable arms to grip the phone rather than relying on MagSafe. It keeps my phone secure even on rough terrain and offers plenty of flexibility for positioning the phone exactly where you want it.

Top notch mount with high build quality
I love it when I take a chance and spend some extra money hoping for a quality product - and it actually pans out. I bought this for my 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma (2014). The install was fast. Instructions were clear. The mount is ROCK solid and has two points of articulation so I can position my phone well. I couldn't ask for a better product. The price I paid was a little steep for a mount, but if you demand quality then look no further.
