Publisher's Summary
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.

You may be griefing for longer than they say
Different religion have different periods and different time lines of griefing, however for every person it is a very individual emotion and simply by letting you know that if months have passed and you still scream out missing the person even that's fine and even that's acknowledged after you read this book an feel that it's ok to not be ok. Literally step by step it eventually may actually help you to understand that going through this situation is ok, the reason why you might actually start feeling ok. Waning, anxiety and depression are also touched and the audiobook by the author herself helps you to atleast listen and get back to books in a way. THANKS to Megan Devine. Also I AM SO SORRY for your loss, for all you went through and may be going through. Take care.
