A New Resource for Those Experiencing Loss
With It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we 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, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.
On this unabridged audio recording read by the author, Megan offers stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices to guide us through an experience we all must face. With Megan's gentle but direct guidance, you'll 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 it 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
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." It's OK That You're Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves - and each other - better.

A special book...
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I am both ready to build a life without my husband and never will let him go. He will always be a part of my life. If there is any other man that I can love again he too will have to learn to love John. He is my children's father, our grandchildren's Papa both those that knew him and those that never got the opportunity.
In losing John I have learned, that I have an abundance of love. I am sad and I want to honor my husband and while he is no longer here with me. I will always love him. Because I love him I experience pain, sadness, joy, and deep pains of grief. I likely always will and I am learning to accept that I will always carry this well of pain with me. It does not make me weak, does not make me stronger. It just signifies that I loved.
This book allows me permission to know that I am okay. It does not matter what others think I need to be doing with my grief, moving on, getting over it, what others think of grief is likely coming from shame, blame, and misconceptions of what we are to do when we lose our loved ones.
I am part of a real shitty revolution but I am going to share the message with those willing to listen.
Thank you. I finally feel like a can breathe.
