• Engaging in a new normal
User-friendly and adaptable, it is an invaluable tool for anyone navigating loss, whether from the death of a loved one, job loss or relationship rupture. Given the universal nature of grief and its profound impact on mental health, this workbook offers essential support for both individuals and communities.
The GRACE: A Model for Grieving Workbook is a resource for anyone who needs guidance on coping with grief, healing from loss, and finding resilience. Ideal for grief support groups.
Grief is a complex and deeply personal experience, impacting every aspect of our lives. 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.
Because grief can impact concentration, memory, and distractibility, the exercises within are easy to follow and highly adaptable. You are free to change the timing, adjust the length, and work through the book with a support partner as appropriate.
