“With her characteristic clarity and insight, senior sexpert Joan Price zeros in on an experience that many people navigate but very few discuss: the experience of reclaiming sex after the death of a beloved. Sex After Grief is a profoundly compassionate, deeply personal, and exceptionally practical guidebook for moving forward after loss with both purpose and joy.”
—Lynn Comella, PhD and author of Vibrator Nation: How Feminist Sex-Toy Stores Changed the Business of Pleasure
“Deeply, honestly sourced in her own experience but aware that other people's mileage may vary, this wise, compassionate, moving, sex-positive, and so necessary book breaks silence and lucidly tackles an all-too-common source of pain and shame. Author Joan Price has stitched ‘patches of [her] grief quilt’ together with other bereaved lovers' insights and experiences woven throughout. It will prove a source of comfort for those who are grieving, and advice and support for those who are ready to open back up to sex, pleasure and love.”
—Carol Queen PhD, Good Vibrations sexologist, co-founder of Center for Sex & Culture, San Francisco
“I always love Joan’s books because they are real, honest, inspirational, and audacious. Sex After Grief will advise and surprise you, whatever your age, gender, or orientation.”
—Betty Dodson, PhD, author, artist, sexologist, and orgasm educator since the early 1970s
“We predict that this will be one of the most important books to have been published around death and dying. Joan's words are delivered with kindness and her advice is true to the heart. There are two things in life that can change you: the books you read and the people you meet. Do yourself a favour, grab a copy of Sex After Grief. We believe that this book is relevant to anyone who has experienced loss of a partner, not just from death, but also as a result of the end of a relationship.”
