Threads of Grief - Therapist Bundle

Threads of Grief

When might this be helpful?

You might find this resource useful if you are working with someone who...

• feels grief weaving through memory, identity, love, pain, silence, meaning, routine, rest, or gratitude
• carries a continuing connection with someone who has died
• feels pressure to move on, make sense of everything too quickly, or grieve in a particular way
• is navigating anticipatory grief ahead of an expected loss
• is holding a loss that was never straightforward

This resource is designed to help

Rather than offering quick answers, this resource helps clients to:

• name and honour different parts of the grieving experience
• notice what has been lost, what still matters, and what remains unspoken
• explore how grief may continue to live alongside everyday life
• meet grief with honesty, tenderness, and authentic self-honour

This reflective worksheet invites exploration through eight therapeutic threads: Connection, Impact, Silence, Self-Honour, Meaning, Continuation, Relationship Beyond Death, and Gratitude. This is not a worksheet about fixing grief.

What's included?

• Printable A4 PDF resource and worksheet, in both Print and Fillable formats
• Additional content addressing anticipatory grief, for use ahead of an expected loss
• A therapist companion with theory and references
