E.B. Bartels’s book Good Grief: On Loving Pets, Here and Hereafter—first published in hardcover in 2022—has just been released in paperback on November 11, 2025 by Mariner Books (HarperCollins). This new edition brings her heartfelt exploration of pet loss and love to an even wider audience.

E.B. credits her 2018 Catwalk residency as the place where the very first chapters of Good Grief began, written in the attic tower while reflecting on her beloved dogs, fish, and birds.
