A wry, irreverent take on how we mourn, how we remember, and how we keep our dead with us even as we (sort of) let them go.
When Miriam Weinstein's good friend died unexpectedly, and other losses followed close behind, it led to a year of introspection and black outfits. All Set For Black, Thanks ditches the sanctimony to give us the help, and the laughs, that we actually need in times of mourning and grief. She explores such topics as how we keep our dead with us even as we learn to let them go; why we should not bring casseroles; how to write the Best Eulogy Ever. Part memoir, part how-to, this book will help you get through the rough bargain of human existence: none of us gets out of here alive, but we live as if the lives of our loved ones had no end.

Miriam Weinstein writes about family, friendship, how we navigate time, and how we make meaning in our lives. Starting as a documentary filmmaker, then moving into print journalism, she won awards in many categories. Her book, Yiddish: A Nation of Words, won the National Jewish Book Award. Her next book, The Surprising Power of Family Meals: How Eating Together Makes Us Smarter, Stronger, Healthier and Happier, opened a national conversation, with quotes on the front page of the New York Times and in Time magazine. Weinstein lives in Gloucester, MA with her husband.
