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

      Hone, a researcher in resilience/well-being psychology (Auckland Univ. of Technology, New Zealand) applied the sorrow she felt after her daughter's death to the development of practical strategies that can help the bereaved work toward acceptance of their loss and return to experiencing a full life. She shares strength-building tools that include thinking flexibly, embracing a personal moral compass, finding a role model, and nurturing a caring social network. Hone adds that one should welcome and enjoy positive emotions, and that communicating them to others is good for the soul. VERDICT There is a wealth of empathetic information in this book that will undoubtedly be uplifting to all who are grieving or know of others in the process. Excellent.
