A 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.
