The shared journey of seven fathers that will inform and inspire anyone facing life's adversities
The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life weaves together contemporary thinking on grief, adaptation and resiliency with the true story of the widowed parents from our first support group. The authors co-led the group and partnered with the men to share their remarkable story.
Over the course of nearly four years, the men forged a deep bond and their monthly meetings evolved into a forum for healing, self-discovery, and personal reinvention. The Group seamlessly blends this narrative with the latest findings from the bereavement literature to offer a singular perspective on grief, adaptation, and how each of us has the potential to rebuild new and meaningful lives.
Powerful, enlightening, informative and hopeful, The Group helps readers make sense of grief's complexities and inspires them to reimagine life moving forward.
Praise for The Group
Rosenstein and Yopp understand the steep cost of grief: we lose people before we can imagine life without them. Brilliantly narrated with expertise and compassion, this book shines a light on the magic of togetherness. When we cannot go on, we need the communities like these to recreate a hope-filled future.
Kate Bowler, New York Times Bestselling author of No Cure for Being Human and Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I've Loved)
I absolutely loved this book. Rosenstein and Yopp’s ability to expertly weave personal narratives with their professional expertise makes this required reading for anyone who has or will experience a loss.
