Description
xA powerful account of one father's journey through unimaginable grief, offering readers a new vision for how to more actively and fully mourn profound loss. "After loss, one of the most common responses is "There are no words." But often times, words are what people who are grieving need the most. When silence is replaced with empathy and support, we help others heal. In his new book Finding the Words, Colin Campbell provides powerful advice for processing pain and being there for those who are. By bravely sharing his journey through the unimaginable, Colin will bring hope to so many."
--Sheryl Sandberg, Founder, LeanIn.org and OptionB.org When Colin Campbell's two teenage children were killed by a drunk driver, Campbell was thrown headlong into a grief so deep he felt he might lose his mind. He found much of the common wisdom about coping with loss--including the ideas that grieving is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that "there are no words"--to be unhelpful. Drawing on what he learned from his own journey, Campbell offers an alternative path for processing pain that is active and vocal and truly honors loved ones lost.
Full of practical advice on how to survive in the aftermath of loss, Finding the Words teaches readers how to actively reach out to their community, perform mourning rituals, and find ways to express their grief, so they can live more fully while also holding their loved ones close. Campbell shines a light on a path forward through the darkness of grief.
