A peek inside
the book
- The way this book is written makes you feel as though you are sitting alongside the author and she is talking to you… like two close friends confiding over coffee. It’s very real. And in parts, it’s very raw.
- Discover what Gaynor calls ‘Learning Moments’. The choices she made and their consequences. How each event and decision helped her crawl out of the very dark place she had found herself in.
Coming Back From Heartbreak is available in paperback, e-book, and hardcover editions.
This book is uniquely set out insofar as the author bares her loss in such a way that you feel she is confiding in you. What impressed me most is the pathway she shares for dealing with devastation, loss and betrayal and how she carved a way out to a greater and enriched space called contentment.
It’s a self-help and motivational book but also has parts that read like a memoir. Beautifully composed, it seems to take you by the hand and carefully leads you through.

This is a raw and profoundly honest account of loss and healing. The story itself accounts for the loss in a rare and truthful way while the healing is articulated in the graduated unveiling of realisations and hints that aided Morrissey in her trek to genuinely getting through her trauma. It’s a powerful tool for anyone experiencing betrayal and loss.
This book is now recommended reading for my clients.

What readers are saying
When some marriages implode so often the short game strategy is to sharpen the knives and excise the tumour.
For author Gaynor Morrissey, blindsided by mid-life betrayal, she hides the truth from those who love her most, clings to hope and rolls the dice. Some readers will scream at her decision. But to paraphrase the author, the Heart and the Head have different mothers.
Written in retrospect with the clarity of hindsight, this visceral retelling of her grief is cleverly bookended with some sage quotes collected as life rafts to get her through another day. The life lessons are universal to all.
If Revenge is a dish best served Cold, then Forgiveness might be the After Dinner Mint that removes the sour taste.
V. Mackay – broadcaster
Author Gaynor Morrissey, found herself in a devastating space when her marriage ended but discovered ways to get through the heartbreak.
In her first book, Coming Back from Heartbreak, Gaynor reveals all, and takes the reader through her experience, providing nuggets of wisdom that worked for her. She sites that her wish is that others can clasp into some of the steps she took and that they too climb out of the mire into a better space.
Gaynor credits life itself as being her guru.
Now in her late 60’s she says that she wishes she had known these things earlier in life!
