Everything Is OK

Product Information

Here are some phrases to consider to offer sympathy to a person who lost a loved one instead of “it’s going to be okay.” 1. “I’m so sorry for your loss.”

I have read Debbie Tung’s previous books and found them so relatable as a fellow introvert. I was so excited about this book when I found out she had a new book coming out, and this did not disappoint. Here are some statements that may make some people feel better about the current state of the world. 8. “Pandemics are new to us, but they are not new to the world. Our ancestors got through this and we can too.” This simple phrase has been known to change lives. Remind your spouse or partner that they are loved. 32. “We have a ‘new normal.’”There’s SO much good news in the world. So rest assured that today, good things happened in the world. And tomorrow, good things will happen again. We hope they help you feel more hopeful — and we also hope you’ll take the opportunity to create some good, too. When a friend suffers an injury, remind him that eventually, things will get better. When an active person is suddenly forced into inactivity, they need a reminder that the bad times are only temporary. 7. “I’m here to help.” The superhero film "Avengers: Endgame" uses " Is everything okay?" multiple times as characters navigate through challenging situations and face enormous stakes. Even if your friend is eventually able to go on with life, they may not be able to consider that as an option at this point. 2. “ I’m here for you. ” I do have reasons for hope: our clever brains, the resilience of nature, the indomitable human spirit, and above all, the commitment of young people when they're empowered to take action.” — Jane Goodall

Follow this statement with suggestions on how you could help relieve some of your friend’s stress, such as, “Can I drop off a meal to your family those nights you are at your dad’s house?” or “Can I sit with your mom while you take a nap?” Alternative ‘It’s Going to Be Okay’ Messages for a Spouse or Partner The phrase " Is everything okay?" is frequently used in "The Big Bang Theory" television series, often when characters are trying to understand and navigate social situations or personal dilemmas. Be careful not to judge a friend for feeling anxious for an uncontrollable situation. Telling someone to “be calm” is never an effective strategy either. 15. “Are you okay?” Offer these messages of reassurance instead of spreading fear to the others around you. Instead of spreading rumors, encourage a collective (mask-covered) deep breath. 11. “Let’s try to stay positive.” For someone like me who have anxiety, I was able to know what she's trying to say. For the parts which represents other mental health conditions, I can understand how it feels to be all alone despite having everyone around you but feeling helpless at the same time.If you could choose to be born at any time in human history, but you wouldn’t know where you’d be born, what your race would be, whether or not you’d be able-bodied, or how much money your family would have, you would absolutely choose the moment we’re living in today.

My thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the DRC of “Everything Is OK”. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book. While the world is far from perfect, the world is a better place for the greatest number of people than at any time in history. And the fact that the world has slowly but surely gotten better, means the future will be better too. Healthcare workers and researchers are making a major impact on global health through vaccines for conditions like Malaria, COVID-19, HIV prevention, Lyme disease, and more. While the phrase's general meaning remains consistent, the context, tone, and situation significantly influence its implied meaning. Where Does "Is Everything Okay?" Come From?

Not to mention that everything has been so gently smoothed over that the end result is a mental health arc that reads as glossy oversimplification. While I recognized many of Tung’s thoughts and experiences from my own mental health journey, I never once felt the jagged rawness that come from dealing with depression and anxiety while reading this. I appreciate Tung making something beautiful and comforting out of a painful mental health journey, but I found that it came at the cost of making something that feels real. You may have discussed your problems at length, but there may be nothing you can do to fix them. In that case, don’t overlook the healing power of touch. Hold your partner’s hand or hug them. Sit near them on the sofa as you watch TV. Find a few ideas that speak to you, and let those carry you through your day. And maybe share this list, too. You never know who might need it. Instead of telling your friend that everything will be okay, consider asking your friend how they are feeling. Perhaps your friend doesn’t need the reassurance that things will become better. Some people can go through a stressful situation and still know that their life will return to normal at some point. 16. “Let’s try to think of a solution to your problem together.”
