So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible?
In Its OK That Youre 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-"as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner-"Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, "happy" life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, onethat invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. In this compelling and heartful book, youll learn:
-¢ Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief
-¢ How challenging the myths of grief-"doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold-"allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve
-¢ Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to "fix" your pain
-¢ How to help the people you love-"with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process
Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to "solve" grief. Megan writes, "Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution." Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face-"in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world.
Its OK That Youre Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves-"and each other-"better.
