When the New York Times ran Patrick O'Malley's story about the loss
of his infant son-and how his inability to "move on" challenged
everything he was taught as a psychotherapist-it inspired an
unprecedented flood of gratitude from readers. What he shared was a
truth that many have felt but rarely acknowledged by the
professionals they turn to: that our grief is not a mental illness
to be cured, but part of the abiding connection with the one we've
lost. Illuminated by O'Malley's own story and those of many clients
that he's supported, readers learn how the familiar "stages of
grief" too often mislabel our sorrow as a disorder, press us to
"get over it," and amplify our suffering with shame and guilt when
we do not achieve "closure" in due course. "Sadness, regret,
confusion, yearning-all the experiences of grief-are a part of the
narrative of love," reflects O'Malley. Here, with uncommon
sensitivity and support, he invites us to explore grief not as a
process of recovery, but as the ongoing narrative of our
relationship with the one we've lost-to be fully felt, told, and
woven into our lives. For those in bereavement and anyone
supporting those who are, Getting Grief Right offers an uncommonly
empathetic guide to opening to our sorrow as the full expression of
our love.
