How to Carry What Can't Be Fixed
A journal for meeting grief with honesty and kindness-honoring loss, rather than packing it away With her breakout book It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine struck a chord with thousands of readers through her honest, validating approach to grief. In her same direct, no-platitudes style, she now offers How to Carry What Can't Be Fixed-a journal filled with unique, creative ways to open a dialogue with grief itself. 'Being allowed to tell the truth about your grief is an incredibly powerful act,' she says, 'This journal enables you to tell your whole story, without the need to tack on a happy ending where there isn't one.' Grief is a natural response to death and loss-it's not a problem to be fixed. This workbook contains no cliches, timetables, or checklists of stages to get through; it won't help you 'move on' or put your loss behind you.
