How to Carry What Can't Be Fixed: A Journal for Grief Paperback – May 18, 2021

Great read for anyone dealing with mental health struggles. Very relatable and written in a matter of fact tone but also relates to real life experience. Also recommend the other book by this author!

I bought this book after losing my Mother - it is a beautiful book and so well made. I have enjoyed reading it and doing the sections where you fill in bits with colouring and also writing in your feelings. It's beautifully written and designed and I highly recommend it. It's comforting for those who are grieving.

Wonderful companion, distraction, and educator for those living through the experience of grief. Further down the journey, it makes a precious keepsake of your person and your memories together before and after.

I loved checking in with myself using this journal every few days. By the time I completed the workbook, I had moved through the worst of my grief.

It has very helpful ideas to help a person cope with grief.

A very good book about grief. Has you work thru it and looks at grief from a different point to view.

After experiencing a tragic loss, I was lost, confused and broken. I felt alone and felt no one understood my pain. I could not even grasp what was happening to my heart, mind, body and soul. I couldn't comprehend how close friends and family, as well as the society at large, seem to fail me at every turn and I felt completely alone. It wasn't until I read Megan's first book, "It's Okay That You're Not Okay" that began to understand my grief and begin to embrace it. It also lead me to taking her Writing Your Grief e-course where I began to explore, through writing, where I began to see my grief for what it was in all of it's ugly and beautiful glory. Now, "How to Carry what Can't be Fixed" is the ultimate guide through the complexities of grief. Megan lovingly and honestly takes your hand to lead you through your own journey. One aspect of my grief I call "my hamster wheel of pain" and there are times that I feel like I am going to implode while running through a labyrinth of thoughts and feelings I can't escape. Megan's new book is like a guide book, gently taking your hand, to help lead you through that labyrinth. There is no curriculum grades or judgements - just an opportunity to explore your grief to allow more real estate in your brain and heart to let in other healing opportunities. I highly recommend "How to Carry what can't be Fixed" for anyone stuck in that labyrinth of grief. You won't be fixed, but you will learn more about yourself and offer some blessed relief from your own hamster brain of pain. I am forever grateful for Megan Devine and her insights, authenticity and gentle guidance to experience grief in your own way and in your own time.

I bought a second book for my friend when her partner died shortly after my husband died. Very helpful.
