Most people think grief only follows a death. But what about the heartbreak of divorce? The loneliness of estrangement? The exhaustion of illness, devastation of infertility, or the shock of redundancy? These ‘living losses’ leave people feeling untethered, isolated, and unseen. Everywhere I go, I hear the same question:

“How Will I Ever Get Through This?”

Drawing on decades of resilience research, my own lived experience of profound loss, and stories of others navigating unwanted change, this book guides you through the toughest times.

You’ll discover:

  • 20 key questions to guide you from chaos to calm, helplessness to hope.

  • Practical, evidence-based tools to help you survive the hardest days.

  • Courage, clarity, and ways to keep moving forward - without denying the depth of your loss.

Yes! I want this book.
Five colored circles in a row: yellow, pink, light pink, teal, and dark teal.

This is the book for you if you’re navigating:

  • Divorce, separation, or relationship breakdown

  • Infertility, miscarriage, or childlessness

  • Illness - your own or someone you love

  • Redundancy or career upheaval

  • Estrangement, dementia, or other painful life transitions

If you’re feeling unseen or unsupported, How Will I Ever Get Through This? will be your companion through loss.

It will help you make sense of what’s happening, give you language for your pain, and gently guide you towards healing and hope again.

Dr Lucy Hone is a resilience researcher, bestselling author, and global TED speaker whose work has changed how the world understands resilience and coping with challenges and change. Her TED talk has been viewed more than 9 million times, ranked in the Top 100 TEDx talks of all time, and been translated into 23 languages.

Lucy brings a rare combination of academic expertise and lived experience. Already an established researcher, her life was shattered by the sudden death of her 12-year-old daughter. Since then, she has combined science with lived wisdom to offer hope, compassion, and practical tools to millions worldwide. A subsequent series of ‘living losses’ (both her own and clients) made her realise how widespread grief is felt, and not reserved for death-loss alone.

Today, Lucy divides her time between Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, working with organisations from Apple and Amazon to the United Nations, Hospice and the Armed Forces.
