It's OK That You're Not OK

Devine writes from a place of genuine loss and genuine clinical training, and that combination gives this book an authority most grief books cannot match. The central argument — that grief is a sane response to loss, not a disorder to be managed on a schedule — is the right message delivered with real compassion. It is less useful if you need structured action steps, but for someone who is drowning in early grief and needs to feel less alone, it functions as something close to a lifeline.
