Option B (2017) is Sheryl Sandberg's poignant exploration of grief and resilience following the sudden death of her husband, Dave Goldberg. Building on her earlier work, Lean In, Sandberg shares her journey through profound sorrow and the challenges of navigating life as a single mother. She introduces the “three P’s” of trauma—Personalization, Pervasiveness, and Persistence—and reflects on their impact on her healing process. Sandberg emphasizes the importance of community support, encouraging open conversations about grief rather than avoidance. Through personal anecdotes and the stories of others, she highlights that while grief is an inevitable part of life, it can coexist with joy and growth. Ultimately, she advocates for embracing happiness without guilt, reminding us that moving forward honors the memory of those we have lost.
