You will be just fine Ify Odugbemi

In 2015, on that faithful day, Ify Odugbemi witnessed the loss of her 18 month old daughter due to undetected sepsis in the hospital. It was like time stood still. From that day forward, her life changed forever. There are so many loaded literature and books on grief with well-intended advice that can actually worsen and extend someone's pain. So many of us do not know how to handle loss in our cultures and it could lead to many mental health issues. From this book Ify has poured herself to helping people find a new way to deal with loss that honors our experience without trying to "solve" grief.




In 'You will be just fine' Ify reveals a path for navigating grief and loss not by trying to escape it, but by learning to live inside of it with grace, strength and faith. Through her stories, research and life tips, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face.
