The Sun Always Rises: How to Thrive in Times of Loss

In The Sun Always Rises KELLY LOWE shares the story of how she escaped the shadow of loss to discover a beautiful new normal. Her narrative is honest in its lows and optimistic in its highs, and is both personal and universal. Parts of it are unique to her, but most of what she describes will be familiar to all who have suffered a similar fate. Her revelations are simple—as life is often more simple than we make it—yet complex enough that she finds no need to gloss over very real challenges. I believe you’ll find her guidance to be wise and easy to follow.

If you have suffered because a loved one who was there one moment is now suddenly gone, The Sun Always Rises will illuminate a path that can help you thrive in a time of loss. In such times, thinking clearly can be difficult, and things that are pretty straight forward—even inevitable—may feel mind boggling or beyond solution. A counselor like Kelly who has suffered the same kinds of loss, understands human nature, and can articulate a clear vision of the way forward can be invaluable in stormy times. Kelly Lowe has a zest for life that shines through on every page. Beyond that, she knows the terrain of loss and recovery and speaks a language which talks directly to the wounded heart seeking to heal.

As she says in the conclusion of her book, “I’ve come to the conclusion that the first and most important thing in life is to find peace and happiness within—essentially to be happy with yourself and allow yourself to believe it. Enjoy every sunrise. Let each day be a fresh mental start. Remember, no matter how dark any time might feel, the Sun Always Rises. Will you believe that it’s true, and that you can rise with it?”
