When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, here is the first thing to know: there is nothing wrong with grief. \u201cGrief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,\u201d says Megan Devine. \u201cIt is a natural and sane response to loss.\u201d
\u00a0
So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible?
\u00a0
In It\u2019s OK That You\u2019re Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we try to help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides\u2015as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner\u2015Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, \u201chappy\u201d life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. In this compelling and heartful book, you\u2019ll learn:
\u00a0
\u2022 Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief
\u2022 How challenging the myths of grief\u2015doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold\u2015allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve
\u2022 Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to \u201cfix\u201d your pain
\u2022 How to help the people you love\u2015with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process
\u00a0
Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to \u201csolve\u201d grief. Megan writes, \u201cGrief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution.\u201d Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face\u2015in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world.
\u00a0
It\u2019s OK That You\u2019re Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves\u2015and each other\u2015better.<\/p>\n


\n From the Publisher <\/p>\n

\"It's\"It's <\/p>\n

A book for grieving people and those who love them <\/h3>\n

\"It's\"It's <\/p>\n

Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried. <\/h3>\n

This book provides a path to rethink our relationship with grief. It encourages readers to see their grief as a natural response to death and loss, rather than an aberrant condition needing transformation. By shifting the focus from grief as a problem to be solved to an experience to be tended, we give the reader what we most want for ourselves: understanding, compassion, validation, and a way through the pain. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s OK That You\u2019re Not OK shows readers how to live with skill and compassion during their grief, but it isn\u2019t just a book for people in pain: this book is about making things better for everyone. All of us are going to experience deep grief or loss at some point in our lives. All of us are going to know someone living great loss. Loss is a universal experience. <\/p>\n

Navigating Early Grief <\/p>\n

Explore the cultural and historical reluctance to feel grief. And while it won\u2019t change anything inside your loss, hearing your personal experience set against the wider, broken culture can help shift things somehow, offer needed acknowledgment of how hard this really is. <\/p>\n

Tools for Living in Your Grief <\/p>\n

Exercises to help you manage the mental, emotional, even physical side effects related to your loss, and find tiny windows of calm where things aren\u2019t all better, but they are somewhat easier to carry. <\/p>\n

Rallying Your Support Team <\/p>\n

Learn how to help a grieving friend as well as how to offer your friends and loved ones guidance on how they can best support you in your grief. <\/p>\n

The Community of After <\/p>\n

Dive into the ways we find true support and companionship inside loss, and the ways that pain\u2014and love\u2014get integrated into a life lived alongside loss. <\/p>\n
