Thank you.
So often in grief you are given empty platitudes. I feel like this audio was the friend I needed at just the right time, saying just the right things.

It's OK That You're Not OK
Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand
Audio Bundle
Megan Devine reveals a path for navigating grief and loss not by trying to escape it, but by learning to live inside it with more grace and skill. Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face. Here she debunks the idea of trying to "cure" grief, offering skills and tools to help us move forward through our own grief and provide genuine comfort to others experiencing intense loss.
Full Description
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.

Annoying use of the word RIGHT
I could not get past 10 minutes if listening to this because the author says the word RIGHT at the end of almost every sentence in the recording. But
