Grief is hard. It’s messy. It’s destabilizing. And every single one of us has to go through it. Kate Doerge had to face it after an unimaginable string of losses over six years, and her search for a way forward led her to research and write Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Finding Healing, Strength, and Joy after Loss, co-authored with Sara Bliss. In The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Posttraumatic Growth, Dr. Edith Shiro, Ph.D., presents a powerful, five-stage framework to help recover from trauma. Inspired by her grandparents, who were refugees and Holocaust survivors, Shiro has dedicated her life to individuals, families, and communities facing trauma and its aftereffects. Here, she provides a universal language and outline for how trauma can be a catalyst for transformative growth. Moderated by Dr. Cecilia Shaw (C.V. Shaw), D.O.M., vice president of the South Florida Writers Association.
