It's OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand by Megan Devine

5.0

I am a psychotherapist working across lots of different services - one of the places I work is a charity that provides counselling to people who are bereaved. It was actually one of my clients who recommended this book to me as they said it had helped them make sense of the drastic way in which their life had changed since losing their loved one. I basically devoured this book in two sittings and found it extremely wise, comforting and practical. I can't speak for whether any of the exercises are helpful as I did not do them, but I can imagine that for some people they will be a real lifeline when trapped in the misery of grief. Devine's writing is clear, friendly and open. I think I will be recommending this book to plenty of my clients from now on. I would say if you are grieving, or want to support someone who is, this book is for you.
