GriefWork: Healing from Loss

"An essential resource for grief counselors... recommended for every mental health and recovery program professional"

                                                                      -- Carol A. Butler, MS. Ed., RN,C

GriefWork - Healing from Loss is for therapists, counselors, group facilitators, and other professionals working to help grieving people heal from their losses. The handouts guide clients through stages of shock, disorganization, reorganization, and a New Normal, a term to convey that everyone's grief has a unique expression and is that particular person's "normal." Clients are encouraged to deal with sorrow, express feelings, share with peers, develop internal and external support systems, accept, adjust, and move forward. The book helps leaders understand and empathize and teaches participants to heal and grow.

Activities facilitate introspection and interaction. The book's reproducible handouts and artwork map the journey from numbness to normal and can be effective with other groups. The human experience dictates that clients have already experienced or will face future grief/loss issues. The book is an essential resource for an inevitable part of life.

This workbook is also available in PDF eBook format, making it simple to store on your computer or mobile device and to access with a PDF viewer. The PDF format allows you to easily print copies of the activities and worksheets during therapy and counseling sessions.
