Scars: On Handling Adversity
summary
Claims that grief and career setbacks are recoverable are backed by concrete steps and examples: got counseling, rebuilt a career, and returned to work while raising a son born three months after Jen’s passing via surrogacy. Cited role models include Sheryl Sandberg’s Option B, TV McCann’s athletic recovery, and Jennifer Saul Stein’s emotional resilience. Practical takeaways are compassion for oneself, patience with unresolved questions, relying on friends and family, and that resilience is learnable rather than innate.
