Angela Nissel releases new memoir on grief and humor

Angela Nissel, known for her sharp wit and candid storytelling, has released a new memoir titled *Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom Is Dead*. The book chronicles her experience caring for a terminally ill parent, blending raw emotion with the gallows humor that has become a hallmark of her writing. Nissel’s narrative offers readers an intimate look at the challenges of end‑of‑life caregiving while maintaining a tone that is both reflective and irreverent.

Nissel first captured public attention with *The Broke Diaries*, a blog that chronicled her financial struggles as a college student. The diary’s popularity led to a book and a television series, and she later contributed as a writer and producer to shows such as *Scrubs* and *The Boondocks*. Her latest work continues her tradition of turning personal hardship into engaging, thought‑provoking prose. The Verge reports that *Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom Is Dead* will be available for purchase in bookstores and online retailers beginning this week.
