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.
In this completely updated and expanded second edition, author and resilience/well-being expert Lucy Hone, a pioneer in positive psychology and bereavement research, continues to push her field forward. In 2014, Lucy was faced with her own inescapable sorrow after 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. Since then, Lucy has become a leading voice in resilience and bereavement science, overturning widely held myths and misconceptions, making plain the harms of rigid models such as Kübler-Ross’s five stages, and advocating for a more adaptive grieving process that emphasizes emotions, relationships, attention, forgiveness, and self-compassion.

The author of this is a professional in the field and also has her own grief she has to address, having lost her daughter in an accident. So the book has a lot of explanations about grief, the process, etc but there is also a lot of support, with statements encouraging the reader to believe in recovery from a devastating loss. There are also exercises that you can do to assess your own situation and where you are.
As someone who picked this up because I am struggling, I think it would have been more helpful to have less information and more support and assessment. I do think a lot of people will find this helpful, though.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
As a bereavement counsellor I wanted to read this, although I was worried it might advocate a kind of forced happiness. Luckily my misgivings were unfounded. It was well written, very balanced and useful. It also contains a chapter to share with friends and family. Great book.
Resilient Grieving is a great book for those who feel lost in their grief. I've dealt with this very thing for years, hiding behind it, pushing it down, and trying overall to just ignore the clawing sensation that grief never seems to allow to ease up.
Learning and facing the rain in this book has allowed me to have more closure and peace for those I've lost.
