Few of us know how to navigate the territory of traumatic loss
successfully. Sweet Sorrow shows how we can respond and grow
stronger from loss and suffering. Written by a psychologist and
certified bereavement trauma specialist in the decade following the
loss of her husband, father, mother, and only sibling, this
carefully considered work provides perspective on grief and healing
over time. This longer-term approach allows readers to have a more
complete and accurate picture of the oscillations of grief over
time. The book describes not only the immediate agony of the
author's losses, but also the process of starting over and making a
successful new life as a single person full of hope and joy. Sweet
Sorrow combines the author's psychological expertise and clinical
experience with the compelling art of memoir to illuminate the
surprising ways in which loss survivors can grow and even thrive to
achieve wholeness after heartbreaking, traumatic losses. Using
findings from post-traumatic growth, as well as evidence-based
psychological approaches, Sweet Sorrow illustrates through story
and example, ways for grief survivors to start over, to manage
chaos and stress, to let go, and to heal with new strategies and
re-storying. Sweet Sorrow also provides resources and
recommendations for self-care, as well as tips and suggestions for
all of us trying to respond creatively and helpfully to those
around us suffering loss. Ultimately, Sweet Sorrow is a book of
inspiration intended to accompany readers through the processes of
loss and grief much like a helpful Sherpa might guide a lost
traveler.
