The Other Side of Sadness offers a research-led reexamination of grief, arguing that mourning is not a predictable sequence but often guided by resilience and diverse emotional responses.

Combining original studies, clinical observation, and reflections on mourning rituals, the book explores how emotions such as relief, anger, and even joy can play constructive roles after loss. It considers difficult situations like the death of a parent or child without reducing suffering to neat stages.

Clear explanations of neuroscience and positive-psychology findings sit alongside human stories, giving readers a more nuanced framework for understanding bereavement.
