Resumen del Editor

New York Times best-selling author Firoozeh Dumas is used to making people laugh, but in 2022, she found herself drowning in tears of sadness. After her 2022 Los Angeles Times article "What I needed was a rest break on the Island of Grieving and Useless Folks" went viral, she was inspired to write Sob, a one-hour audio story about grief, healing, and miracles that will leave you spellbound.

In this unflinching story, Firoozeh Dumas, author of the international best seller Funny in Farsi, takes you into the worst year of her life, which she describes as “a bouillon cube of grief”. After the unexpected break up of her longtime marriage in 2022, Firoozeh finds herself in completely new territory, untethered from the only life she knew as an adult. Using her signature wit, she recounts her highly personal journey through this uncharted and unplanned chapter in her life. Hers is a journey she would have never chosen, but one that ultimately leads her to a deeper truth about herself, to a better place where hope and grace are a daily part of life and where serendipity is always around the corner. Firoozeh’s story will leave you crying, laughing, and pondering some of life’s big questions.

Honest and touching, heartbreaking and inspiring, Firoozeh’s story will resonate with anyone who has found themselves in the dark night of the soul and wondered if there is a way out. You will immediately want to discuss Sob with your friends. It is an experience meant to be shared.

Light after dark

I enjoyed listening to sob.
It reminded me of the time when I could not stop sobbing.
For me the time was the healer .
پایان شب سیه سپید است

Healing

This story was like diving headfirst into a whirlwind of emotions. The author's raw, unfiltered portrayal of her experiences left me breathless, moved, and utterly captivated. Through her beautiful and vulnerable narrative, I found myself deeply moved, contemplating the profound lessons of faith and prayer. Thank you.

beautiful story about loss and coming out the other side. Highly recommend!

Excellent

Thank you for sharing your story. Excellent storytelling. Hope to hear more stories from Firoozeh!

Riveting, vulnerable, and meaningful storytelling

I was enveloped in the journey from the very first sentence. Her ability to dissect and pen her raw experience is incredible. It’s hefty, intimate, difficult to hear at times, with underlying hope.

Stunning. A masterpiece. Listen NOW!

Firoozeh Dumas has written a masterful, gripping, dynamic story about heartbreak and healing, faith and love. She brings her generous humor and signature wit to heavy questions we all share, and invokes the mystery and magic of life. It's a piece you'll think about long after you listen and will want to send to all your friends. I’ve been a fan since her sensational Funny in Farsi, and this takes the cake — or, as she’d say, the Trader Joe’s Chocolate Bar. Listen to SOB now and thank me later!

One of my favorites!

I can’t believe how much I related to this. I even sobbed myself! One of my favorite authors who has this great wittiness about her that just makes you love her!

Firoozeh is an amazing writer and hearing “Sob” in her own voice makes the story more powerful! Looking forward to reading/hearing more of her writings!

Grief is a Different Club Than Book Group...

Firoozeh Dumas shares her gift of story telling and creative expression to make a connection. She reaches to those who live with grief, and navigate their forever changed world to find a way to recognize their essence in small bits and pieces. Sobbing comes with anticipated and unanticipated triggers--and we find our way in spite of the discomfort of strangers and loved ones uncomfortable with our discomfort.
Firoozeh is a humorist that tells her very human story to help us find that our story will evolve and perhaps find some healing through our relationships, beauty, the arts and ultimately connection.

Healing after grieving

Tragedy + time = Comedy as the saying goes. However, when it comes to unexpected divorce from a partner whom we thought we'd share a lifetime with, time for healing tends to infinity. Or so it seems in the initial few years. Given time and the ability to indulge in spiritual reflection, one can begin the journey of moving on. So it is that Firoozeh finds solace in the most ordinary encounters, with humans and birds, with places and things.

Firoozeh is funny as always, and even the melancholic parts are often accompanied by a turn of phrase and makes one laugh.

This book is recommended for anyone going through the trauma of divorce. Especially divorce in mid-life.
