Synopsis
From the emerging field of resilience/well-being psychology, an alternative to the five stages of grieving: a proactive and mindful path to recovery
Widely published resilience expert Dr. Lucy Hone is the first academic researcher to fuse the fields of positive psychology and bereavement research. In Resilient Grieving, she upends the oft-cited (but unsubstantiated) five stages of grief to help those who have experienced profound loss carve their own path to recovery.
Dr. Hone comes to the subject with experience both professional and personal: In 2014, her 12-year-old daughter died in a car accident. Faced with inescapable sorrow, she turned to her research and professional practice and began to develop practical strategies that can help the bereaved progress toward acceptance of their loss and return to living engaged, meaningful, and happier lives."
Synopsis
The death of someone we hold dear may be inevitable; being paralyzed by our grief is not. A growing body of 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 fusing 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.
Resilient Grieving offers an empowering alternative to the five-stage Kubler-Ross model of grief--and makes clear our inherent capacity for growth following the trauma of a loss that changes everything.
