Summary, Etc. All Cleo Dang has ever wanted was to be a mother. The day she discovers she's pregnant is the happiest of her life, especially when she learns that her best friend, Paloma, is also expecting. It's a wonderful surprise and together, they enjoy their pregnancies. But when they both go to the hospital in labor, something goes very, very wrong. Paloma comes home with a baby. Cleo does not. Now a grieving Cleo must navigate life after losing her baby. She alienates herself from the world, especially her best friend who is living the life she so desperately wanted. Forced to quit her demanding job as an actuary, Cleo manages to find a job at a funeral home where she meets a revolving door of bereaved locals and discovers the power of confronting grief. Cleo Dang Would Rather Be Dead is darkly humorous yet uplifting. In helping others say goodbye, Cleo finally learns how to say hello again-- to joy, to purpose, ans to the life she still has. -- Page 2 of cover.
