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. About the Author: Dr. Lucy Hone received her master’s degree in applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, the world-renowned home of the field. Today, she’s a researcher in resilience/well-being at the Auckland University of Technology. Karen Reivich, PhD, a leading expert in the fields of resilience, depression prevention, and Positive Psychology, is the Director of Training Programs for the Penn Positive Psychology Center.
