Description

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

This is a brilliant sensible view on the truth about grieving. The author does not buy into the standard American response of the ridiculous "5 stages". The author truthfully and with sensibility discovers the truth behind deep extensive grieving and how we should and must respond for our own well being. As a person living in deep grief I thank the author as I appreciate this approach which I now incorporate into my own grieving process. Thank you for this sensible approach to grieving with gratitude. This is very practical and based on the authors own experiences. through her own grief. Excellent book. Very appreciated.
