Grace: A Model for Grieving Workbook

Created by a licensed professional counselor, the workbook offers carefully selected and thoughtfully crafted exercises, tools and techniques which support the adaptive 5-step process for grieving and healing: 1 - Grief redefined, 2 - Re-story the loss narrative, 3 - Adopt healthy ways to grieve, 4 - Connect with self and others, 5 - Engage in new normal. Because grief can make learning more difficult by impacting, for example, concentration, memory and distractibility, the exercises within are designed to be easy to follow and highly adaptable. You are free to change the timing (exercises don''t have to be completed in sequential order), adjust the length (not all components of every exercise must be completed to achieve beneficial results) and work through the book with a support partner as appropriate. From the death of a loved one, to losing a job, to the rupture of a relationship, losses are an inevitable part of the human condition. At times, our losses may feel overwhelming, and the resulting individual and communal mental distress exacts a heavy toll personally and collectively. We could all benefit from additional healthy resources targeted to address losses and the accompanying grief that follows. This workbook aims to be such a resource for everyone who needs it.
