Julie Zarifeh shares the tragic story of losing her 27-year-old son, Sam, in a whitewater rafting accident just sixteen days after her 60-year-old husband, Paul, died of pancreatic cancer. She describes how she and her surviving son and daughter dealt with this double whammy and how she embraced the notion of ‘active grieving’. This included a 450-kilometre cycle tour around Sri Lanka, trekking the 800-kilometre Camino de Santiago and running the New York marathon. Julie’s account of learning to live with grief, plus her experience as a clinical psychologist, make this an inspirational and ultimately uplifting read.
