Option B

This is a wonderful book, easy to read and well-written. It should be widely read as the material and advise is valuable to everyone regardless of their present state. The subtitle is “Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy” and that says it all.

A personal, heartfelt story of finding resilience in the face of incredible tragedy. Backed by scientific research and numerous anecdotes of getting through pain- Sheryl and Adam layout how to avoid the three main pitfalls of permanence, personalization, and pervasiveness. I also appreciated the ideas to provide a concrete method of helping instead of asking “what can I do” as well as offering encouragement as well as empathy.

For anyone who has ever grieved the loss of another human or has/is supporting someone going through grief, this book is wonderful read. Heck, you don't need to be grieving or close to a griever to like it, either. It's a really amazing glimpse into what it really feels like to lose someone as close to you as a spouse, and Sandberg provides some truly enlightening insights into the life of someone who is deep in grief.
