In her audio book, When Everything is Not Okay, Megan Devine invites the newly bereaved to enter their grief and
see where it leads them.
Devine notes that everyone
has an opinion about how people should grieve, even those who have never lost
someone. Ignore them, she says. No one can tell you how you need to grieve;
only you can determine that. We also have our own guilt trips to deal with, the
“shoulds” that we pile on ourselves. Getting beyond the shoulds and oughts is
one of the first tasks that grievers face so that we can hear what we need.
