What’s inside

Grief doesn't follow stages in a neat line, and this workbook doesn't pretend it does. Carrying Love helps you tell the story of the loss, name everything you lost (including the losses nobody sees), track the waves, balance time for grief with time for life, plan ahead for birthdays and anniversaries, and find ways to stay connected to the person you love. Warm, plain language. For teens and adults, on your own or with a counselor.

Informed by

From the PDF’s evidence snapshot (page 2): One well-known model of grief describes healthy coping as moving back and forth between facing the loss and attending to everyday life, rather than doing only one (Stroebe & Schut, 1999, Death Studies, PMID 10848151). The 'grief time and life time' page is built on that idea.
