Resilience

A poignant, inspired and assured memoir, Resilience: A Dad’s Journey Through Grief chronicles one father’s intensely personal experience of grief after the passing of his beloved wife. Suddenly a widower and sole parent to three daughters – ages seven, five and four – the author intimately shares his turbulent emotional journey while adjusting to tragedy’s harsh new reality.

This candid, heart-wrenching account provides an authentic window into one man’s personal trauma. By spotlighting the power of inner resilience and maintaining positivity amid adversity, the book carries an uplifting message of hope for any who have endured loss or suffering. His inclination to openly face tribulation makes this grief narrative widely relatable.

While arising from harrowing personal upheaval, the author transforms his poignant tale into a parable of perseverance and grace emerging through life’s darkest moments. His desire to help others reveals that, although pain may carve deep sorrows, the heart always holds hope and inner strength can call us back to life.

Originally from the north of England, David Peart now lives in a village in Essex with his three daughters. He is a widowed husband to Joanne, who died in July 2019.

He has previously written two children’s books to help his daughters during their grieving process. I Want to Hug Mummy, and It’s Okay to Feel Happy are now being used to help other children and families who have experienced loss. That inspired him to write a book from his point of view that can help other people who have related experiences—not just bereavement but other disruptive events.
