"""Just Because hits you like a tonne of bricks! This is a brave, brave book by Lisa Gallate and one that will live long in the memory. Lisa has courageously charted her experience through love, loss and grief and not only in a vulnerable way, but in a manner that gives back generously to the community. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially if you have lost a loved one and are in need of honest, beautiful encouragement."" Geoff Olds, Executive Counsellor and author of Death of an Entrepreneur and Break Up, Break Down, Break Through ""Just Because is a poignant, yet insightful read about the messy, inexplicable and often misunderstood journey called grief. Lisa exposes her deepest vulnerability as she thoughtfully explores the complexities and heart wrenching depths of death and loss, yet also the ironic beauty and joy of living. At times I felt I was sitting right next to Lisa in her mourning; inviting me to reflect on my own personal experiences of death and deep loss. Her touching words and sense of humour not only made me cry but also laugh out aloud. From a psychological perspective, Just Because provides pragmatic and evidence-based strategies to cope with the many stages of grief, cutting out unnecessary psychobabble - a welcomed relief for anyone in a time of mourning."" Georgia Ray, Registered Psychologist ""Just Because is an incredible story of the author's journey through life changing losses, grief and renewal that is raw, real and topical with a backdrop of the global impact from the Covid pandemic. It is a riveting and inspiring chronicle of resilience through life's toughest challenges filled with equal measures of humour, joy, love and of course sadness. Lisa Gallate writes without any pretension but with the precise intent to share stories of resilience and hope and inspire others to think beyond limits. It is an uplifting book that calls to the strength of the human spirit in all of us to be the best versions of ourselves and to live our best lives.""
