Taya Mikado is a first-time author and long-time scholar of grief and resilience. At thirteen she lost her father to suicide, and at eighteen her mother to a motorbike accident. In an effort to share more about life with grief as a young adult, and to befriend her own grief, she wrote and self-published This Grief Thing F**king Sucks. Taya hopes that this book can sit within the grief space as an item prompting solidarity and helping others to further understand grief.

Growing up in Lethbridge, Alberta, she studied and performed poetry from a young age in Speech and Drama classes. She went on to achieve an honours degree in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia and is currently pursuing law school (fitting grief into her busy schedule).
