Dr Lucy Hone is a New Zealand based resilience expert whose TED talk has been viewed more than nine million times.

In it she recounts her own journey as a grieving mother following the death of her 12-year-old daughter Abi in a car crash. 

Her latest book, How Will I ever Get Through This?, is touted as a practical guide for getting through tough times, based on the premise that grief is not confined to bereavement. 

It offers advice for anyone following divorce, illness, estrangement, redundancy, infertility or other upheaval.
