The Art Of Codestiny Sheryl Sandberg CEO

By Ann Allen


In life, there are times when most people go through a hardship of one kind or another. For many, this can be in relation to the loss of a loved one. In the case of Facebook CEO and Lean In Founder and expert in codestiny Sheryl Sandberg, it was in relation to the loss of a husband and father of the Sandberg children.

In 2015, Mr. Goldberg died suddenly and unexpectedly while on vacation in Mexico from a heart attack. It was an event that devastated and destroyed Ms. Sandberg. As a result, the businesswoman decided to document the emotional journey as part of the grieving process. As a result, the businesswoman and author now shares that experience in a book titled Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience and Finding Joy.

One of the main points the author wishes to make is that people are right in that grief can never be replaced. Although, while there continues to be sadness in the absence of a loved one, life can and often does get better over time. The title of the book was born out of an early Facebook post which was written shortly after the loss of Mr. Sandberg.

The book based on the belief that there is no Option A, in which the individual is still present, Option B is the only answer. It was possible for Sheryl to move on and begin to work through the adversity and grief brought on by the loss by documenting the emotional journey. By focusing attention on the memories the couple shared before the loss and working on this book and other projects, the businesswoman has been able to rebuild and find joy in new areas.

In an earlier book, the businesswoman wrote about working women and the will to lead to others while overcoming male dominance in the workplace. The first book made the best seller list in 2013. As such, it is expected this new book will follow suit while also helping millions come to understand and process grief with regard to a wide variety of losses which can occur in life.

Individuals facing adversity through hardship, loss or other factors share stories with others going through similar experiences on the forum. In doing so, many find solace, solidarity and support. In addition, the organization also provides resources which can assist in building resilience.

As anyone who has lost a loved one knows, one often feels isolated, alone and like nothing can make things better at the initial time of loss. In fact, even when others whom have experienced such loss suggest that life will get better in time, individuals have a hard time believing this to be the case. Whereas, with the right amount love and support, most people can and do move forward, once again finding joy and happiness in life.

It should be noted that while this is the case, there is no set amount of resilience which individuals are born with, something a psychologist once told Sheryl while going through the process. Ultimately, each person is different and it can often take some longer than others to move through the grieving process.
