How Sheryl Sandberg says she dealt with her grief after her husband's death

Sheryl, I too lost my husband this past Dec 2017. The pain has really stunned me. I’ve been crippled by it. My heart sinks very low on a daily basis and I see no end to it. Prayer has been of some help. I know what you are feeling, and I’m very sorry for your loss. Thank you for trying to help others. You are a strong person.

I’m happy Sheryl Sandburg was able to share her story of how to cope with grief. My heart goes out to her.

I lost my father in August 2018, being the eldest son in the family all the responsible is now on me. The moment I look at my mom talking about the dad makes me afraid. I got about your book called option B and decided to read. You give me the power to come out from the relentless sadness and do much better in the life. I will read the book and tell every thing necessary to the mom so that she also gain from your teaching. Thanks

My hubby passed on 5/9/24 after a long battle with Parkinson's. I too wear his wedding band on my chain. Having his ring makes me feel so connected to him. I'm still trying to figure things out. Still trying to learn to do life without him. He gave me the best 34 years. I've been journaling since 1987. It helps me to unwind. It clears my heart and mind of so much baggage that I do not need to carry, but I do from time to time need to remember. I'm glad you re-married. I'm not there yet and I don't think I want to be.

Thank you for sharing!

I am hopeful and this helps me go forward

we love you forever Dave.. watching this 2 years after you've left us.

These people who commented below are just plain heartless. She just lost a beloved husband and instead of writing words of support and encouragement you they did the opposite. Why did you have to kick someone down when she'd just fallen so deep? You did that because she's a strong, successful and rich woman and you just can't relate and wanted to make yourselves feel better right? Don't worry about them Sheryl, you're still young and have your wealthy life ahead of you!! There are people who support you. Cheers.

I am so sorry for your loss! I just wish I was younger! I feel I would be stronger! I was retired & depending on my husband’s employment to continue our lives and love! But I have lost my hope & have no idea how to continue my life now! I can’t find my Option B because I am still so lost & in pain! In reality if I was rich this would have been much as easier as usual! Money answers all problems at this current moment because I would not have to deal with the broken heart and life I have to find my way to keep my house! How do you move forward without money ?

I'm going through grief now...Im trying really hard. I feel awful at times and sick at other times then some time I talk to him and smile just as if he was here. I don't know what too do at times but I know he is in a better place. I love him and always will.

THANK YOU...

I can understand the pain as I lost my husband, a Gynaecologist. Yes, something good must come out of this tragedy.

Lost my husband of 40 years yesterday. I am paralyzed with grief. I am Pc

Thank you

My husband just died on Nov 19 2018. I wear his ring on my neck also. It was very unexpected. We have 4 children together 9, 7, 5, 3.

Sorry for your loss Sheryl Sandburg my condolences R. I. P David Goldberg

I lost my mom a month ago. My recovery is slow and for me can only be done one day at a time.

Keep busy as helped me after I loss my husband...Love you Benjamin Aaron Kimball Lewis

Sitting with my 6 1/2 year old sweet girl and my 4 year old on 10 months and 7 days ago was the 2nd hardest thing I’ve ever had to do…yy my husband was 26 he died unexpectedly in a motorcycle accident on July 23 2021 .. a semi was driving on the wrong side of the road and .. just left him there and kept going until his truck stopped running and all of his fuel leaked out he let my husband bleed out in the street and he had falsified his log books,, he tore them up and hid them from the Cops instead of helping… I hope everyone stays safe.

I'm a single solo father who pulled more than double duty for years and years. Sandburg ever put in anything for solo parent men like me who DON'T have any of this support system? No. Never. To me the hypocrisy she portrays is staggering and ultimately narrow minded.
