Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy
Option B is a luminous testament to the human spirit’s resilience when life shatters its first, best plan. In the wake of unspeakable loss, it asks: when Plan A is no longer possible, can we find strength, grace, and meaning in the imperfect contours of Plan B? Through deeply personal reflections and psychological insights, the book becomes both lantern and ladder—lighting the dark and lifting the fallen. It offers not just solace, but a roadmap for rediscovering joy without denying pain. In a world where heartbreak is inevitable, Option B dares us to believe that healing—and even hope—can still be chosen.
