This hardback edition is designed as a keepsake-for gifting, remembering, and resting beside the sacred things we do not yet have words for.
A beautifully written invitation-not to move on, but to return. Gently, bravely, and with breath.
Grief is not a problem to solve. It's a place the body visits when something beloved is lost.
Paul O'Neill knows this terrain. He has buried his brother. And later, his son. This book was born not from theory, but from that quiet, unspeakable ache.
Back Into Delight is both a memoir and a map. It charts a body-first approach to grief recovery, grounded in breath, voice, humour, and stillness. You won't find five stages here. You'll find signals-physiological cues that guide the system from shutdown into soft return.
Whether read in solitude or offered as a gift, this hardback edition offers a place to rest, reflect, and reawaken.
You'll discover:
How grief lives in the nervous system-and how to shift it gently Why tears, breath, and voice are more than symptoms-they're signals How joy can be trained like a muscle, even after deep loss Tools drawn from somatic psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and lived experience What it means to return-not as who you were, but as someone newly alive
This is not a manual. It's an artefact of survival. And for those still walking through the shadows, it is a quiet companion on the way home.
Grief warps. But so does recovery. And it bends you-if you let it-back into delight.
