What happens when a clinical psychologist and expert on women’s mental health, postpartum depression, grief, and parenting finds her world turned upside down? After her sister and brother-in-law die, Dr. Christina Hibbert inherits her two nephews, delivers her 4th baby, and goes from three to six kids practically overnight. This is How We Grow invites readers into Dr. Hibbert’s upside-down world as she fights to find a little right-side-up. A deeply personal true story blended with psychological insights, This is How We Grow offers an intimate glimpse into the doctor becoming the patient as Dr. Hibbert struggles to put her theories and expertise to the test in an effort to grow a new family and grow herself.
Following four years and four seasons, Dr. Hibbert’s story explores such topics as death and suicide, loss and grief, motherhood, marriage, sisters, family, relationships, spirituality, self-worth, joy, and love. This Is How We Grow demonstrates how hard life can be. Yet it also illustrates how, when we choose to grow, we can and will overcome, become and eventually, flourish.
