Publisher's Synopsis
Resilient Grieving offers an empowering alternative to the five stages of grief-and makes clear our capacity for growth following the trauma of a loss that changes everything
As heard on NPR's Hidden Brain and CBS News
The death of someone we hold dear may be inevitable; being paralyzed by our grief is not. Recent research has revealed our capacity for resilient grieving, our innate ability to respond to traumatic loss by finding ways to grow-by becoming more engaged with our lives, and discovering new, profound meaning.
Author and resilience/well-being expert Lucy Hone, a pioneer in positive psychology and bereavement research, was faced with her own inescapable sorrow when, in 2014, her 12-year-old daughter was killed in a car accident. By following the strategies of resilient grieving, she found a proactive way to move through her grief, and, over time, embrace life again.
"This book aims to help you relearn your world . . . to help you navigate the grieving process as best you can-without hiding from your feelings or denying the reality, or significance, of your loss."-from Resilient Grieving
