Do Loss
A new way to move through change
Sue Deagle
If you’re reading this, chances are that you – or someone you know – has lost something. Not your keys or umbrella. Something more. A job. A marriage or a relationship. A child leaving home. Your health or identity. Some losses we anticipate, others completely blindside us.
Sue Deagle’s loss was sudden and life changing. With no roadmap, she turned to philosophers, scientists, even the military for guidance. Now, she shares her unique approach and provides the tools, strategies and mindset to help you move forward. Discover:
- The 3 common phases: cocoon, adapt and emerge
- An innovative playbook to draw from
- Ways to better support others
Do Loss is an essential guide to navigating all forms of loss. Find a pathway through, towards a different kind of great.
Available to pre-order. Orders will ship just ahead of publication on 3rd March 2026.

Reviews
A true companion and encouraging playbook for anyone who has experienced loss, in any form. By providing concrete tools like 'actionable hope', how to say 'yes' when you feel like saying 'no', and crafting your 'list of regulators', Sue paves a way forward and helps the reader to shift their mindset. A must read for all human beings!

This book helps us get better at loss. Not by avoidance, but by changing the narrative, developing skills and consoling others.
