“When Gratitude Hurts: Healing Through Thanksgiving After Loss” is a soul-stirring journey through grief, memory, and renewal. With the emotional clarity of a memoir and the wisdom of a philosopher, Joseph Ejike Ojih (Ph.D.) reveals how gratitude, even when painful, can transform sorrow into strength. Drawing on psychology, history, and lived experience, this book shows that Thanksgiving is not only a holiday—it is a ritual of endurance, a mirror of love that survives absence. Each chapter blends science and spirit, tracing how gratitude reshapes the brain, calms the body, and reawakens the soul. Through stories of families facing empty chairs, traditions that both comfort and wound, and hearts learning to feel again, Dr. Ojih turns personal reflection into universal truth. His prose reminds readers that the cracks in the heart are where light finds its way back in.

More than a book about grief, this is a testament to the human spirit’s resilience—the power to give thanks even when life feels shattered. When Gratitude Hurts is for anyone who has ever lost someone, longed for peace, or struggled to believe that healing is possible.
