Part 3: Living Alongside Grief (47 pages)
NEW: FILLABLE PDF. Type right on your tablet or laptop, from wherever you're comfortable. No printing needed. The fillable file is US Letter; the printable US Letter and A4 pages with writing lines are still included.
Grief doesn't ask when it will arrive. These pages help you meet the hard moments, lean on the right people and find your way back into a world that keeps moving. Go slowly. Skip anything that feels like too much.
A gentle introduction before every worksheet. Each page opens with a short, loving explanation of why that page matters and how it supports healing, grounded in respected grief research like the Dual Process Model and self-compassion, and closing with one calming breath. You'll never be handed a worksheet without knowing why it's there.

A NOTE FROM ME
Hi, I'm Niki. I made these pages after losing my daughter, Harper. I'm not a therapist. I'm a mom who has walked this road, read everything I could find, and leads The Ugly Cry Club, a group for grieving mothers. I'm also a certified grief educator. Every page is written the way I wish someone had spoken to me: gently, honestly, and without a timeline.
Real tears. Real love.
Harper's Heart Press
PLEASE NOTE
- Fillable fields work best in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Some free PDF apps don't support fillable fields. The 0-10 rating circles are tap-to-check boxes, so tap one circle per row (outside Adobe Acrobat your app may allow more than one). If your app doesn't support fillable fields, use the printable files.
- This workbook is a gentle companion. It is not therapy and is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional. If you are in crisis or thinking about ending your life, please call or text 988 (U.S.) or your local emergency number.
- For personal use only. Please don't share, resell, or redistribute the files. Grief group leaders and counselors, please message me about group use.
- Because this is a digital file, returns and exchanges aren't accepted. If anything is wrong with your download, message me and I'll make it right.
- Colors may look slightly different depending on your screen and printer.
