About this listen
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.

Excellent!
I bought Megan's book on audible because I had family members experience grief and loss and I wanted to be able to help them the best I could.
I found Megan's book just beautiful.
She has such a compassionate and empathetic voice and on several occasions I was brought to tears. I have learned so much from her book and have already notice positive changes for my new management of grief. Thank you, Meghan! Your friend.

Totally resonated with me
Having lost our beautiful 17 year old son in a car accident just six weeks ago I wasn’t sure if I was ready for a book about loss. I found Megan’s book on Audible and was struck by the summary - it just felt right. Within three days I had listened to the full 7.5 hours of audio book and the entire thing spoke to me. So much so that I have asked all my friends and family to also read it or listen to it. I am just about to listen to the whole book again as I know that I will have missed things in my brain fog of grief. Thank you, thank you Megan x

Wish I'd heard this years ago.
After losing 6 family members in 6 years it's a relief to hear that what I'm feeling and thinking is normal.

Very Thankful for this book
The Author’s goal is to give companionship in such tragic times, and she does that with flying colors. A realist and doesn’t give false hope, but really Strategies in knowing it’s ok not to be ok.

A book for everyone not just those actively grieving
I started to listen to this book to better understand a close friends grief and what I found inside was transformative. This book touched places in my soul that I didn’t realize were still impacted by my own experience of grief from 5 years prior. I found myself welling up in places unexpectedly but also found lots of great information to better support my dear friend through his current grief. A gentle and touching book on the many different aspects of mourning that leads you down a pathway of self discovery.
