# I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This 18 Assurances on Grief

**Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost.** It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, _I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This_ is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that **things will get easier**.  
  
When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. With 18 short assurances that are **full of compassion** - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - _I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This_ is the book she needed then.
