Nobody Told Me This Part: The Things No One Talks About After Grief
Grief changes everything — but not always in the ways people talk about.
In Nobodyuj Told Me This Part, Wendy Hilyard shares an honest and deeply personal journey through the losses that shaped her losing her husband Mark just weeks before their first anniversary, losing her daughter Brittyn, and later losing her dad during COVID.
With raw truth, tenderness, humor, and hope, Wendy writes about the parts of grief that are often left unspoken — the guilt, anger, jealousy, fear, triggers, bad decisions, unexpected laughter, and the strange ways life keeps moving even when you are not ready.
This is not a book about grieving the “right” way.
It is a book about surviving honestly.
For anyone who has ever wondered whether they are grieving wrong, moving forward too quickly, holding on too tightly, or simply carrying more than they know how to explain, these pages offer one simple
You are not alone.
Keep going.

This book is the most real book I have ever read about grief! There were so many things I didn’t even know I needed to hear.
Wendy writes from the perspective of someone who knows, and it’s because she does! She’s not trying to hide behind a narrative that others think she should. She just writes from a real, raw and honest place that makes anyone going through their own grief journey feel more seen, heard and normal at a time that they might feel anything but that.
