GRACE: A Model for Grieving Workbook: A Five-Step Guide for Healing After Loss

This 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.

The GRACE: A Model for Grieving Workbook offers a 5-step framework for grieving and healing, drawing on practices from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative-based therapy, and other holistic methods.

Created by Dr. Kay Towns, a professional counselor and grief expert, the GRACE: A Model for Grieving Workbook provides carefully selected and thoughtfully crafted exercises that support the adaptive Dr. Towns' 5-step process for grieving and healing:

• Grief redefined as ultimately a gift
• Re-storying the loss narrative
• Adopting new, healthy ways to grieve
• Connecting with yourself and with others
• Engaging in a new normal

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.
