It's ok that you're not ok : meeting grief and loss in a culture that doesn't understand

Summary: "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 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. Through stories, research, lie tips, and creative and midfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we must all face -- in our own personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world."--Back cover
