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. |
