It's Ok That You're Not Ok
Book • 2017
In this book, 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 death of her beloved partner—Devine 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 healthier middle path that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.
The book provides practical tips and advice on how to handle the situations that arise from grief and challenges the unhelpful rhetoric often encountered by grieving individuals.
