Overview

'The best work I know on positive psychology and grief is Lucy Hone's' Dr Martin Seligman Grief is not confined to bereavement. Yet society rarely recognises these non-death losses, leaving many feeling isolated and unseen. From bestselling author and TED speaker Dr Lucy Hone comes a timely guide to surviving living loss-the feeling that follows divorce, illness, estrangement, redundancy, infertility or any other life upheaval. Drawing on her own experience of multiple losses, decades of resilience research, and the voices of others navigating profound change, Hone offers a unique lifeline. 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?) to hopeful re-engagement (Who and what do you want to live for?).
