Widowed with a 10-day-old baby at the age of 34, Rhiannon didn’t relate to the stereotypical definitions of widowhood. Not only was she younger than the average widow, but she also hadn’t been married to Oliver, her baby’s father. In fact, when he died, they weren’t even speaking.
Grieving a complicated relationship is hard enough. When you add in a death with blurry explanation, it can make characterising your situation too tricky to contemplate.
Themes of addiction, infidelity, dysfunctional family dynamics and suicide all feature in this story.
This is the book Rhiannon needed – a similar story that she could relate to so she knew she would get through it. This is the book she wrote to tell you that you will get through it too.

Rhiannon Spurgeon prides herself on finding silver linings in even the darkest clouds, while not losing her sense of humour. Making a positive effect in her everyday life is a priority, whether to brighten one person’s day or impact a whole town.
She is the founder of The Totally Awesome Women’s Network and is a head cheerleader. She also manages an enterprise hub, coaches, mentors and writes. The earlier years of her career included time at the House of Commons, Financial Times and The Prince’s Trust. Rhiannon has spent the last ten years as a working single mum, putting down roots and keeping all the plates spinning.
‘Face everything and recover’ is her personal motto. She loves her family and friends, dogs, dancing, creating, laughter, taekwondo and her sobriety.
Grief Without Guilt is her first book.
