How Will I Ever Get Through This?
Most people think grief only follows a death. But what about the heartbreak of a relationship ending? The loneliness of estrangement? Or the grief that accompanies illness, infertility or redundancy?
Grief expert Dr Lucy Hone (whose TED Talk about resilience and needing to draw on her own advice after the death of her 12-year-old daughter has been watched by millions) regards these as ‘living losses’.
Yet these ‘living losses’ are rarely treated with the same reverence in society, leaving those experiencing them feeling untethered, isolated and unseen.
In this interactive lecture Hone explores this silent epidemic and offers her practical tips for how we can move through life’s toughest times, and better help those around us.
