Dominique OlivierLessons from Loss: Life on the Other Side of Grief (Trade Paperback)

About

At twenty-nine, Dominique Olivier’s life was torn apart in an instant. A car accident killed her husband and toddler daughter, leaving her widowed with a newborn baby. Lessons from Loss begins here, with the raw, unflinching story of grief at its most devastating – but it does not end there. Part memoir, part guide, the book traces what it means to keep living after unthinkable loss.

Each chapter opens with a personal vignette drawn from Dominique’s own experience – the shock of those first weeks, the anxiety of raising a child alone, the complicated process of finding love again – and is followed by a reflective section that explores what the lessons learnt from those moments might mean for others.
