It's OK That You're Not OK

Résumé du livre

Psychotherapist Megan Devine is a leader in the areas of grief and loss. She shakes up the world’s preconceived notions around grief through her website, media appearances, and training programs. She has pioneered Writing Your Grief, a course that connects communities of grievers and supporters.

Grieving reshapes every aspect of life, including your sense of self, and it’s essential to allow yourself to feel the pain without rushing to “fix” it. Society often fails to honor the depth of grief, offering dismissive clichés or misguided comparisons that minimize its uniqueness. Grief is not a linear process, nor is there a “right” way to experience it. It’s a deeply personal journey that requires patience, self-care, and honest reflection. The physical and emotional toll of grief can be overwhelming, but small, intentional steps—like journaling, creative expression, or prioritizing your well-being—can help ease the burden. Over time, while grief doesn’t disappear, it becomes a part of you, shaping how you move forward. Finding meaning in grief involves cultivating hope, envisioning a future where you coexist with your loss, and having open conversations about your needs. Though challenging, these discussions can help you build a supportive network of people who truly understand. Grief isn’t something to overcome; it’s a testament to the depth of love you’ve experienced, and learning to carry it is a profound act of honoring that love.
