How to Grieve

How to Grieve

Sardonic heartbreak stories for bruised, searching souls

This feels like a companion for anyone stuck in that odd space between heartbreak and healing, where everything is both ordinary and surreal. The stories are brief but piercing, mixing dark humor with real emotional weight in a way that readers might find strangely comforting. If you like fiction that helps you sit with pain without becoming unbearably heavy, this one sounds deeply worth returning to.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

How do you deal with a broken heart? In typical Jade Mark Capiñanes fashion, How to Grieve offers helpful if sardonic advice that you should either take with a grain of salt or use as a menu of survival strategies for the next minute your world falls apart. Each story is a distillation of pain, beauty, ordinariness, and strangeness—each one a koan of heartbreak to contemplate as we stub our toes on the long, rocky road to healing.— Anna Felicia C. Sanchez. How to Grieve is a story collection that understands the brevity of the form, the brevity of our lives—and of the relationships we hope—and often fail—to build. Jade Mark Capiñanes is a master at showing us that the root of our longings is that we've all been here before—here being that liminal space of inattention in between grieving and moving on. Here is a must-read manual to help us survive our present-day unreason, at the seeming impossibility of planning, of a future, of the future. You have to read this more than once because we probably need more than one reminder of our lives thus far to be fully alive again.— Edgar Calabia Samar. Jade Mark Capiñanes presents an expansive view of life, punctuated by surreal humor, allusions that range from pop culture to concepts from classical philosophy, and sharp turns into poignant—at times sobering—insights. For all its brevity, this collection could be read like the most complex of novels. The more we read and reread a narrative, the more we discover something different about it. The more we understand our own lives and (lost) loves. — George Gonzaga Deoso
