(1 Jun 2022) SHOTLIST RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS ARCHIVE: Menlo Park, California – 19 April 2017 1. Sheryl Sandberg at her desk 2. Cover shot of Sheryl Sandberg's book "Option B" 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sheryl Sandberg - Author & Facebook COO: "Two years ago I lost my husband Dave unexpectedly. As anyone who's been through something like this will tell you, it's really the unimaginable. Life changes and felt like there was a void closing in on me, preventing me from breathing. My brother-in-law Rob described it as a boot pressing on his chest. I didn't know what to do and how to get through it. So I turned to my friend Adam Grant who's a psychologist and I said to him 'what do I do? how do I get my kids through this?' I was so worried that my children would never be happy again, that their happiness would have been destroyed in that instant we lost their father. What Adam said to me is that the sadness never goes away entirely and of course it doesn't. I miss him every day. But that there were steps I could take to help my kids and myself recover. Option B is our attempt to share what we learned from people who've studied this for a really long time but also just amazing people that have faced all forms of adversity and really come out on the other side. What I've learned is that we're not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It's really a muscle and we can build it. We build it in ourselves. We build it in our children. We build it in each other. Dave, my husband, lived an amazing life in giving to so many people. He really was so generous and I think if anyone can get help from this book, recovering from anything, it really honors the life that he led."
