An intense compilation of grief stories. There are few dialogs in radical communities about grief--death and dying. The subject of death causes most people, even radicals who see themselves as great communicators, to freeze up, or nervously change the subject. "The Worst" is attempting to change that, by helping people start a dialog about loss, so that no one has to suffer silently. There are so many different stories in here, about mothers, fathers, partners, and pets, who've died and left a hole in the lives of others. All these different authors have really come up with something that although sad, helps the grieving feel a little less alone.
