Challenging conventional wisdom on grief, a pioneering therapist offers a new resource for those experiencing loss

When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, here is the first thing to know: there is nothing wrong with grief. "Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form," says Megan Devine. "It is a natural and sane response to loss."

So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible?

In 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 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, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. In this compelling and heartful book, 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 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.

    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 handy and reassuring guide for those who are grieving and those who want to best support them. Culturally, we are afraid of grief and as a result the author says we don't know how to act around it. We offer platitudes, awkward reassurances, and quick solutions. We believe grief is something to get over as soon as possible but the author argues that your grief is your unique journey, one to be honored and leaned into, and the best thing others can do is to bear witness with you and be a support, not a problem solver. The author writes from tragic experience; readers in need will feel seen and acknowledged. Practical tips and activities are provided for easing the immediate suffering of grief. ( )

This book helped me immensely. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone as we all struggle with grief at some point in our lives, and love and want to support people who are grieving in a way that doesn't make them feel worse. ( )

There are so many myths and misconceptions about grief in our society, and this book debunks them all. It presents a new model of grief that allows and encourages the griever to feel what they feel without worry about societal timetables. Megan speaks the unvarnished, no-sugar-coating truths about grief and loss that so badly need to be spoken and understood. ( )
