The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss

The Other Side of Sadness is a groundbreaking book that challenges conventional views on grief and mourning.

Written by renowned psychologist George Bonanno, this book offers a comprehensive and compassionate understanding of the complex emotions that accompany loss.

Drawing on decades of research, Bonanno argues that grieving is not just about sadness but also includes relief, joy, anger, and denial.

He shows that our inborn emotions help us deal effectively with loss and that expecting or requiring only grief-stricken behavior from the bereaved can do them harm.

This book offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on loss, demonstrating that grieving can actually deepen interpersonal connections and lead to a new sense of meaning in life.

Whether you are experiencing loss personally or supporting someone who is, The Other Side of Sadness provides a much-needed guide for navigating the complex emotions that accompany it.
