Fast forward in the present 20 years later the Head Nurse is the mother of Ko moyoung?! How can that be?!?! When the 1st mother was the one who came in at night feeling happy that she murdered someone, asked by her own dad. who happened to be the mother of Gang tae and SangTae!?!? I kept beating myself up over my inability to let old pains and heartaches go .I was angry that I couldn't seem to get past old wounds ,but this book has taught me that you have to give things time ,that it's ok to not be ok . This part was perhaps the most helpful to me personally. Going through my own experiences with multiple dimensions of grief, I’ve heard almost every well-meant but unhelpful, offensive, and out-of-touch remark. In my worst days, they made me feel like I was broken, alone or “failing at working through my grief”. Seeing Megan Devine writing these misconceptions out and breaking them down so succinctly was powerful today, but would’ve made a world of difference had I had this book at the time. I hope and expect this book will do that for others in similar situations.

It also has some really helpful advice about coping with the cognitive issues posed by grief, when a person's brain is occupied with trying to reorganize a world that no longer makes sense, and dealing with the often crippling anxiety that follows a loss. So for the drama fans out there, I would say that this is a great item to have in your collection. I do not fit into this category of It’s Okay Not to Be Okay superfans. Nevertheless, I still find the books really interesting because of the illustrations.

It’s OK to not be OK.

Megan Devine’s book is powerful, honest, and necessary in this culture that doesn’t understand or know how to tend to grief. “Our culture sees grief as a kind of malady; a terrifying, messy emotion that needs to be cleaned up and put behind us as soon as possible”(intro xvii)
