Other Side of Sadness:
What the New Science of
Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0465013600 | 240 pages | PDF | 2,2 MB |
We tend to understand grief as a predictable five-stage process of denial,
anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. But in The Other Side of
Sadness, George Bonanno shows that our conventional model discounts our
capacity for resilience. In fact, he reveals that we are already hardwired to
deal with our losses efficiently not by graduating through static phases.
Weaving in explorations of mourning rituals and the universal experiences of
the death of a parent or child, Bonanno examines how our inborn emotions anger
and denial, but also relief and joy help us deal effectively with loss.
And grieving goes beyond mere sadness: it can deepen interpersonal
connections and often involves positive experiences. In the end, mourning is
not predictable, but incredibly sophisticated. Combining personal anecdotes and
original research, The Other Side of Sadness is a must-read for those going
through the death of a loved one, mental health professionals, and readers
interested in neuroscience and positive psychology.
