Synopsis

A compassionate and practical guide to living with loss and navigating grief from one of the world’s leading voices in resilience, Dr. Lucy Hone.

From internationally renowned resilience expert Dr. Lucy Hone, How Will I Ever Get Through This? is a powerful new guide for reclaiming life after tragedy and all types of loss. Building on her groundbreaking TED talk and first book, Resilient Grieving, Dr. Hone offers a deeply compassionate, profoundly practical road map through the most difficult seasons of grief, the kind that follows not only death but also divorce, illness, estrangement, job loss, infertility, or any other life upheaval. The “hidden grief” from these “living losses” profoundly alter our lives and our well-being, but may not be evident to those around us.

Organized around twenty transformative questions (derived from Dr. Hone’s previously unpublished research) this essential book gently carries readers from the rawness of early loss—Why am I so tired? Who am I now? Will I ever feel happy again?—to a place of growth, meaning, strength, and renewal.

With a rare blend of scientific expertise, original research, moving personal storytelling, and poignant case studies, Dr. Hone delivers a hopeful guide that goes beyond survival—showing you how to live through loss with courage, grace, and purpose.
