What it is

Somebody you love just got left, and you want to do something. Not a casserole and a vague offer to call any time. Something that actually helps.

This is the kit for that. It's written for you, the friend, not for the person in the middle of it. It tells you who to invite, how to run the night, what to say, what not to say, and how to keep showing up for the four weeks after everyone else has gone back to their own lives.

The title is a joke you're allowed to make. The pages underneath it are not about prosecuting the ex. They're about your friend.

What's inside

The night, and the month after.

Who to invite, and just as important, who to leave off the list
What to do if a gathering isn't the right shape for your friend right now
Group agreements, so the night stays kind instead of turning into a trial
The shape of the night, about three hours, from arrival to goodbye
The lemonade, made together as people arrive, plus food that doesn't require cooking
What to say, and a page of what not to say, both meant to be photographed
The toasts and the letting go, the two rituals the night is built around
The Point Person system: one friend, one month, ten minutes a week
A four-week check-in calendar with the messages already written
Copy and paste invitations, including the one you send your friend
When it's bigger than the group, and what to do then

It works as a gathering, and it works at a kitchen table with two of you and a pitcher.

What you get

One PDF, ready to print.

29 pages, print friendly, and just as usable from a phone in a kitchen. It arrives the moment you buy.

Nobody has to have read Making Lemonade for any of it to work.

Instant download. Because it's a digital file, all sales are final and there are no refunds.

The honest part

This is a kit for friends, not therapy. If what your friend is carrying is bigger than a gathering, there's a page in here about that too, and what to do instead.
