From bestselling author and TED speaker Dr Lucy Hone comes a timely and much-needed guide to surviving the silent epidemic of living loss - the kind that follows divorce, illness, estrangement, redundancy, infertility or any other life upheaval.
Grief is not confined to bereavement. Yet society rarely recognises these non-death losses, leaving many people feeling isolated and unseen. In this deeply compassionate book, Hone draws on her own experience of multiple losses, decades of resilience research, and the voices of others navigating profound change, to offer a unique lifeline to readers.
Structured around twenty key questions, How Will I Ever Get Through This? gently assists readers to move from initial overwhelm (Why do I feel so physically exhausted? Why do I feel so lonely? Who am I now?) to hopeful reengagement (Who and what is still good in your world? Who and what do you want to live for?).
How Will I Ever Get Through This? will leave readers more resilient, empowered and better equipped to face the future than ever before.
