Megan Devine Biography

Megan Devine, LPC, is a recognized voice in grief support, known for her contributions to the understanding of grief, loss, and mental health. Devine brings both clinical expertise and personal experience to her work. After witnessing the accidental drowning of her partner, she gained firsthand insight into the complexities of grief, which has informed her approach as a clinician and advocate for more honest conversations about loss.

With more than 20 years in the field, Devine has advocated for a compassionate, realistic approach to grief support. She is the author of the bestselling book "It's OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand." Drawing from her experiences as both a therapist and someone directly affected by loss, Devine addresses the realities of grief, challenging the notion that the goal is to return to a "happy" or "normal" life. Instead, she encourages building a life alongside grief. Her follow-up work, "How to Carry What Can't Be Fixed," is a journal designed to help individuals engage with their grief through creative exercises. Her books have been translated into 15 languages and her work has appeared in The New York Times, NPR, Harvard Business Review, and The Atlantic.

Devine is known for her approach to grief support, which avoids platitudes, the Kübler-Ross model, and the pathologizing of grief. She founded Refuge in Grief, an online community that provides resources for those navigating loss. Based in Los Angeles, Devine operates a consulting practice, serves as an organizational consultant for healthcare and human resources, and trains professionals—including therapists and doctors—on effective grief support. Her educational animations and explainers have received more than 75 million views and are used in training programs globally.

Devine hosts the podcast "It's OK That You're Not OK" and has appeared on various media platforms to discuss grief, mental health, and bereavement. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, The Washington Post, GQ, Harvard Business Review, The Atlantic, and the PBS documentary "Speaking Grief." She also developed "Writing Your Grief," a course that connects individuals experiencing loss. Through her books, courses, podcast, and consulting, Devine continues to influence the conversation around grief and mental health, providing resources for individuals and professionals navigating loss.
