"Originally published in Australia and New Zealand as What Abi taught us by Allen & Unwin in 2016"--Title page verso.
The end of the world as we know it -- Six strategies for coping in the immediate aftermath -- What can resilience psychology teach us about grieving? -- Accept the loss has occurred -- Humans are hardwired to cope -- Secondary losses -- Positive emotions -- Distraction -- Three habits of resilient thinking -- Relationships (and what friends and family can do to help) -- Strengths -- Managing exhaustion and depression through rest and exercise -- Reappraising your brave new world -- Facing the future -- Continuing the bond -- Post-traumatic growth -- Press pause -- Rituals and mourning the dead -- Nothing lasts forever -- A final word -- The resilient grieving model.
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 Kübler-Ross model of grief -- and makes clear our inherent capacity for growth following the trauma of a loss that changes everything.

Loss of a Child submitted by sara on June 15, 2019, 10:20am The book is about the loss of a child- which isn't apparent from the title. It did not help me with my grief, but made me sadder imagining the loss of a child. there are bits of useful advice, but nothing you wouldn't find in other books about grief.
