Greet Death with a Rainbow
Greet Death with a Rainbow is a collection of stories that share my experience and navigation of mother’s death.
It is real, and true, and painful. It is interactive and (perhaps even?) fun.
It involves a choose-your-own-adventure where all your best actions end in death. It involves a mad-lib in which you make important decisions about what you are willing to fight for in your lifetime. It is full of life as much as it is full of death.
My hope is that this book is a kind companion for navigating the wild world of grief.
The stories are all directly from my heart/body/gut/mind. They were written and rewritten, drawn and redrawn entirely by my own left hand over the course of the year or so of grieving-time following my mother’s death.
The book is color printed and 44 pages long.

Costs + PaymentBook is offered on a sliding scale of $18 to $44. Please pay what feels appropriate to you.
If it aids your choice, here is a bit of pricing transparency:
If you pay $18
You are covering the cost of printing, the cost of shipping, and the cost of admin (packaging, shipping, managing orders).
If you pay $22
You are covering printing/shipping/admin, plus one of the mugs of coffee I enjoyed during my cafe editing sessions.
If you pay $33+
You are covering printing/shipping/admin, plus paying me a livable wage for one hour of my work on this project!* (So if you believe artists deserve living wages, here is a moment you could perhaps put that concept into practice).
*I actually have not a clue how many hours I spent on this. Grief really can blur one’s relation to linear time. If I had to really low-ball it I would say maybe 150 hours?
