Description

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 Hone’s previously unpublished research) this essential book gently carries readers from the rawness of early loss—Why am I so tired?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.

Advance Praise

 "The best work I know on positive psychology and grief is Lucy Hone’s.” -Dr. Martin Seligman, bestselling and award-winning author of Learned Optimism and Flourish


"How Will I Get Through This? is the book we always needed. An invaluable education, a constant companion, and a brilliantly necessary resource that will transform how you relate to life's unexpected losses, changes, and challenges entirely, and for the better. Lucy Hone takes readers firmly and compassionately by the hand, lets them know they're not alone, and walks them through the moments, questions, and feelings we all encounter but were never taught what to do with or how to navigate. This book is a gift to the world, and to humanity. It belongs on every bookshelf because what it helps and heals belongs to every person." -Lauren LaRusso, LPC, LMHC, author of Overcoming Infidelity 


“Lucy’s insights are practical, wise and deeply human - they stay with you long after you read them.” -Chelsea Pottenger, author of The Mindful High Performer 


"Compassionate without sentimentality and practical without platitudes, How Will I Ever Get Through This? is a landmark book on grief. Dr. Lucy Hone offers a scientifically grounded, deeply humane guide for navigating loss and finding strength, meaning, and renewal on the other side.” -Tasha Eurich, New York Times bestselling author of Shatterproof, Insight, and Bankable Leadership


"With scientific grounding and in a profoundly human manner, How Will I Ever Get Through This? brings Lucy’s characteristic candor, compassion, and action-orientation to help us explore living losses. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is honest, generous, deeply wise, and filled with the kind of insights that stay with you long after you close the final page. Lucy Hone is one of the most trusted voices in the field of resilience, and this book solidifies why." - Jillian Coppley, president and chief programs & services officer, VIA Institute on Character
