This is a book about relationships and emotions and I liked being caught up in Marin's brain. What I really appreciated was that Nina LaCour abandoned the idea that a novel has to be entirely plot driven. Which is a pretty big thing to say, I suppose. Click here for details.This is the kind of book I want to write. Both together make a great gift for a grieving friend or family member. Get Megan’s new guided grief journal, How to Carry What Can’t Be Fixed, available now! It builds on the exercises and tools in It’s OK, plus all new material. 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.
How to help the people you love-with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process. Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to “fix” your pain. How challenging the myths of grief-doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold-allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve. Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief. In this compelling and heartful book, you’ll learn: Megan writes, “Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution.” Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face-in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world. 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. Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to “solve” grief.
