Resilient Grieving is a practical, research-based guide to finding your own path to recovery from devastating loss. 

In this new edition of Resilient Grieving, NZ author Dr Lucy Hone has extensively updated the text to include new research and material that she has gained by working with the bereaved through her 'Coping with Loss' grief programmes.

Lucy is widely regarded as a thought leader in resilience psychology. The death of her 12-year-old daughter forced Lucy to focus her work on grief and how to survive tragic loss. Known for her hugely popular TED talk, for being an internationally sought-after professional speaker, best-selling author and award-winning 'pracademic', Lucy is transforming the grief landscape by sharing better ways to grieve. She blogs forPsychology Today and is a regular contributor to global media, including The GuardianThe Washington Post, the BBC, CBS and ABC, and Channel News Asia. 

Lucy says: 'If you are sick of feeling helpless and desperate to restore some hope and control, then I wrote this book to show you how. While I cannot remove all the pain of loss, this book shares everything I've learned to help you live and grieve at the same time.'
