From the emerging field of resilience/well-being psychology, an alternative to the five stages of grieving: a proactive and mindful path to recovery Widely published resilience expert Dr. Lucy Hone is the first academic researcher to fuse the fields of positive psychology and bereavement research. In Resilient Grieving , she upends the oft-cited (but unsubstantiated) "five stages of grief" to help those who have experienced profound loss carve their own path to recovery. Dr. Hone comes to the subject with experience both professional and personal: In 2014, her 12-year-old daughter died in a car accident. Faced with inescapable sorrow, she turned to her research and professional practice--and began to develop practical strategies that can help the bereaved progress toward acceptance of their loss and return to living engaged, meaningful, and happier lives.
