Lucy Easthope is a fascinating woman! Having read her previous book, which I recommend to many, I knew I had to read her latest.

This book takes a slightly different approach, whilst the stories of her experiences of disaster recovery / planning remain it is more as a way to explore ways of dealing with such events both big and small using the lessons and wisdom learned over the years.

I thought this was written in a very informative way, providing the context for the advice to provide reassurance to the reader as to the substance and weight of the advice. Delivering a comforting message…It has worked time and time again in circumstances so you can trust in your time of need you are not alone, your feelings are valid.

It resonated to me in on many levels both for my own experiences but also those of others around me and ways in which it could help. My only thought was I am unsure of the optimal timing of reading this book, I feel it needs a little distance from the event rather than being used at the moment of a difficult time.

Would definitely recommend, thank you for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is such an inspiring and insightful book. Fascinating about Lucy’s work, and the things you might never consider about crisis situations and what happens before, during and after. I also found the tips about how to apply the things Lucy has learnt so useful, and hopeful. As someone who has suffered a loss recently, I was so encouraged by her words, and feel better equipped to handle the future and the struggles I - and my family - are inevitably going to face.

A great book to help deal with crisis. I greatly appreciated the great advise, tips, and information presented in this book and I think it will help alit if people!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC. I loved this warm and wise follow up to Lucy's first book. It includes intensely useful practical advice and personal story. It's brilliant.
