Megan Devine on Embracing Grief and Loss: A Conversation on The One You Feed
“There are some things that we can do that lessen our suffering. But, boy, that belief that, like you, could listen to every episode of the one you feed, put every principle that every author has ever put into place and still be sad, well, damn it, I don't like it, but it's true.”
Ever felt like society just doesn't get grief? Megan Devine, a trailblazer in grief support and emotional intelligence, joins Eric Zimmer on 'The One You Feed' to tackle this very issue. Since 2009, Devine has been reshaping how we think about grief and love, and in this episode, she dives into her latest book, 'It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand'.
Together, they discuss the flawed ways our culture handles grief, the unrealistic expectations placed on those grieving, and why it's crucial to simply be present with our emotions instead of trying to 'fix' them. Devine’s insights offer a fresh perspective for anyone grappling with loss or wanting to support someone who is. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that challenges the norms and encourages a more compassionate approach to dealing with grief.
