Grief is an individual process unique to each person, yet there exists the common factor of struggle. Day after day, those dealing with grief face obstacles—physical, mental, and emotional—which can trap us into feeling helpless and hopeless in the grip of our sorrow.Designed to provide hope and healing for those stuck on their grief journey, GRACE: A Model for Grieving unpacks the five key steps to grief recovery:1 - Grief redefined as ultimately a gift2 - Re-storying the loss narrative3 - Adopting new, healthy ways to grieve4 - Connecting with yourself and with others5 - Engaging in a new normalThrough the GRACE Model process, you’ll discover a way to mend and move through loss towards a place of healing and growth. GRACE: A Model for Grieving isn’t about avoiding grief, but rather learning to heal alongside grief, as we move beyond pain to peace and learn to appreciate grief as biologically imperative, emotionally healing, and spiritually nurturing.
