‘Heartfelt, straightforward and wise’ – Jack Kornfield

When a life-shattering event upends your world, the first thing to know is there is nothing wrong with grief. In It’s OK That You’re Not OK, psychotherapist Megan Devine argues that grief is a natural and sane response to loss – not a disease to be cured – and offers a profound new approach to how we support ourselves and our loved ones through it. As a therapist and as a witness to the accidental drowning of her beloved partner, Devine writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love and healing, to explain: • • •

How well-meaning advice can make grief harder Why you should ignore stages, timetables and unrealistic ideals Techniques to manage stress and anxiety, and improve sleep

A modern classic that has already helped over half a million readers, this much-loved book will give you the skills to build a life alongside grief, rather than seeking to minimise or overcome it.
