One of our favourite books to recommend for those navigating grief is "It’s OK to Not Be OK" by Megan Devine 🍂

"Grief is not an obstacle to overcome, it’s a process to be honoured."

This book provides a compassionate, real approach to grief, offering comfort at any stage of the journey. Whether you're just beginning to grieve or further along in the process, you’ll find wisdom that speaks to your heart.

Sometimes, it's about simply allowing yourself to feel and knowing that it's OK not to be OK.

Grief doesn’t follow a straight line and healing rarely looks how we expect it to.

In this moving TED Talk, Jason B. Rosenthal shares his story of losing his wife, Amy, and the quiet, complicated journey of learning to live with loss.

He reminds us that we don’t move on from grief instead we move forward with it.

We share resources like this because sometimes, hearing someone else’s story can bring light into your own.

A gentle note: If you’re in the midst of deep grief, this video may stir up tender emotions. It’s okay to wait until you’re ready 💙
