Just Get Over It
An honest conversation about grief, loss, and quite possibly the most damaging sentence in the English language.
Order the BookFour words. Said with love, said with impatience, said by the voice inside your own head at 3am.
And quite possibly the most damaging sentence in the English language.
Grief doesn't only show up when someone dies.
It also shows up when the relationship ends and your friends choose sides. When your body changes and the mirror stops recognising you. When you lose a career, a faith, a family, a freedom, and nobody sends flowers.
In Just Get Over It, psychotherapist Jack Williamson draws on years of clinical practice, his own messy and very public experience of loss, and research gathered from cultures across the globe to explore the twelve distinct types of grief most people have never heard of, dismantles the myths that shape how we treat ourselves and each other, and introduces a brand new model for understanding loss: The Cyclical Nature of Loss — because grief was never meant to follow stages.
This is not a self-help book with steps, stages or tasks to complete to get over your grief. This is an honest conversation about loss. The ones people talk about, the ones no one talks about, and the ones everyone gets wrong.
“Grief was never meant to follow stages. It was meant to be lived with — cyclically, honestly, and without apology.”
