'A shining beacon of sense and wisdom. None of us can avoid life-changing upheavals - but we can all benefit from reading this brilliant book about how to respond with resilience. Fascinating and empowering.' RACHEL CLARKE

'An amazing woman' JAMES O'BRIEN
We all know that at some point in life, we will experience pain, uncertainty and loss. Widowhood, redundancy, a life-changing diagnosis, pregnancy loss, or a global pandemic. So how can we weather the storms, and cope with whatever comes next?
No one can answer this better than Lucy Easthope, an emergency planner whose job is to support survivors of major disasters. She has been there after countless earthquakes, fires and floods. Time and again she has watched how people rebuild: the work, the pitfalls and the fragile joy. In Come What May, she distils for us what she has learned about how to carry on during and after terrible times.
Through poignant stories and hard-won wisdom, she offers a roadmap for resilience in the face of adversity. She explains what shape the recovery journey might take, how to triage your life in an emergency, how to plan for 'the slump' (also known as the lasagne phase), how to take stock of what has happened to you, how to watch out for 'learned helplessness', and what good (and bad) help looks like.
This is a book for all of us existing in 'the after' who want not just to survive, but to live and unleash strengths we never knew we had.
We all NEED this book! An essential guide to navigating the disasters each of us will have to face, written with the brilliant wisdom of a leading expert with the insightful compassion of a survivor. -- Gaia Vince
