The loss of a life partner can be traumatic. Oblivious to our suffering, the world around us speeds on as if nothing happened. Stunned, shocked, sad, confused, and angry, we blink in disbelief. Our hearts are broken. Our souls shake. We look for comfort. Our broken, grieving hearts need it to survive. Multiple award-winning author, hospice chaplain, and grief counselor Gary Roe is a trusted voice who has been helping wounded, grieving hearts find hope and healing for more than three decades.

I’d never done anything crazy like this before–a pilgrimage walk. I was not a hiker, and I wasn’t a Catholic. In fact, I wasn’t even sure I was a Christian. On the last government census when I had to state my religion, I'd said I was a Buddhist, mainly because they’ve had such a hard time in Tibet I felt they needed my statistical support.

Read by the author, Into the Dark is a firsthand account of what happens to us when we die. Allison DuBois walks her listeners through death as described by "those who live again". Although death may seem like a dark, quiet, empty place to be, once you go into the dark, you will find out that death has a lot of color and a pulse! Through her ability to communicate directly with the dead, Allison DuBois relays the wants, desires, and experiences of the deceased. The dead have their own world, but it is important to them to also remain a part of ours.

Publisher's Summary
A New Resource for Those Experiencing Loss
With It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides - as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner - Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. 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.
On this unabridged audio recording read by the author, Megan offers stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices to guide us through an experience we all must face. With Megan's gentle but direct guidance, you'll learn:
- Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief
- How challenging the myths of grief - doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold - allows us to accept it as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve
- Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to "fix" your pain
Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to "solve" grief. Megan writes, "Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution." 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.

Excellent!
I bought Megan's book on audible because I had family members experience grief and loss and I wanted to be able to help them the best I could.
I found Megan's book just beautiful.
She has such a compassionate and empathetic voice and on several occasions I was brought to tears. I have learned so much from her book and have already notice positive changes for my new management of grief. Thank you, Meghan! Your friend.

Totally resonated with me
Having lost our beautiful 17 year old son in a car accident just six weeks ago I wasn’t sure if I was ready for a book about loss. I found Megan’s book on Audible and was struck by the summary - it just felt right. Within three days I had listened to the full 7.5 hours of audio book and the entire thing spoke to me. So much so that I have asked all my friends and family to also read it or listen to it. I am just about to listen to the whole book again as I know that I will have missed things in my brain fog of grief. Thank you, thank you Megan x

Finally - a book that helps
Megan Devine has written a superb book based on her on personal loss & her experience as a psychotherapist. It’s relatable if you are grieving. It helps. It doesn’t take the pain away, but there are tools used to help. Moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting the past.
