Dr. Amy Morin described her early career as a psychotherapist who“intended to help others build mental strength”. She could never have imagined, however, that she would soon need what she calls “mental muscle” to help herself. When Amy was just 23, her mother died of a brain aneurysm. Three years later, a heart attack killed Amy’s young husband, Lincoln – a tragedy that was followed by her father-in-law’s sudden death.
This is what she wrote about surviving the pain of those losses:
“I was a 26-year old widow with no Mom. Losing the most important people in my life sent me on a quest to learn how I could stay mentally strong.”
