Workbook on It's OK That You're Not OK by Megan Devine (Kath J): Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand
Our contemporary culture frowns on grief. It is an emotion that is associated with negativity. Those who express grief are tagged as weak, blamed and even shamed.
However, grief is a natural reaction to pain. It’s just like exerting physical torture on someone, the attendant reaction is an expression of pain. This is the same way that grief is natural. Our world is riddled with pain. Massive loss is an eventuality that we will face sooner rather than later. As humans, we are in communion with events of pain and loss. Expressing grief to these events should not be sought to be repressed or ordered to follow a certain model.
We must allow our expression of grief to be as loud as we want, take as long as required and take whatever form without reserve of without being gagged.
These are the tenets espoused in this Workbook. It advises us to allow ourselves feel our grief instead of making futile efforts to escape from it.
This Workbook is a potent tool for navigating the period of intense grieving. It’s also beneficial for those who have friends or family members going through bouts of grief. Get a copy for yourself and your loved one
