The Grief Workbook

Safely let go of the past, consciously step into the present, and courageously find hope for the future.

A 7-Week Guided Workbook designed to help you move through the seven phases of grief using psychology-based self-inquiry, somatically-driven release, and deeply restorative practices.

“The prompts have helped me express emotions that I would normally bottle up or not tell anyone about, and its become a time and space that I give myself to feel better and get better. I recommend it to anyone healing from grief right now.”

-Daniella P.

Hi sweet soul, if you…

…have lost a loved one, pet, or any living thing to death
…recently shed a part of self, identity, or belief system
…are moving through heartbreak, divorce, a breakup, or separation
…experience regular ego death, unlearning, or cyclical healing processes
…still think about the past, are stuck and struggling to move on, or can’t seem to find hope for the future

Then The Grief Workbook is for you.

This workbook is designed to help you move through the 7 phases of grief so you can accept any and all kinds of loss with courage, compassion, and a hell of a lot of honesty.

You deserve nothing less.


Ways to Buy:

The paperback version is priced higher on my website since I pay for shipping & handling myself.

If you’d like to buy on Amazon for a lower price point, that’s completely ok with me!

“GRIEF IS LOVE WITH NOWHERE TO GO”

-Jamie Anderson

None of us know how to move through grief. How could we?

This workbook will help you figure out how.

The Grief Workbook will…

  • Prompt you to journal through subconscious thoughts and discover what’s blocking you from moving on

  • Teach you to take action with your emotions so you know how to energetically release the feelings

  • Offer somatic activities to help you process, feel, and express at each stage of grief

  • Educate you on all seven phases of grief to help you make sense of the process

  • Validate where you are so you feel less shame or anxiety about “not being over it yet” (whatever “it” is)

  • Create a safe space for you to just be, because grief is hard & you deserve a place to mourn.

Hi Sweet Angel.

I am no stranger to the grief process.

The first time I was faced with grief, I was 11 years old. I remember my dad getting a phone call while we were standing outside of a restaurant on a family vacation. It was pouring rain, and I remember the smell of the hot cobblestone sizzling under the dark wetness. “Your father is dead,” the other line said. I looked at my dad, and I saw his face drop. He hung up the phone, and told us that Grandpa had passed, and he was going to fly home the next morning.

I had no idea what to do with the feeling bubbling in my stomach. I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t let my father see me sad. It was his dad, after all, who’d died. I needed to be strong for him—I needed to protect him—I needed to be good.

I wrote a poem about that day in school—one of many poems I would write in years to come as a way to cope with grief, though at the time I didn’t understand it.

It wouldn’t be until a decade later when my highschool sweetheart died and I started writing to process his sudden death, nor years later after going to eating disorder recovery and blogging to discover who I was without my ED, or in the last two years when I got divorced and wrote an entire book in the wake of losing my partner, best friend, identity as a wife, and future that I understood how deeply healing writing would be for my grieving process.

Grief, I now know, does not care what, who, or how you’ve lost.

Grief arrives anyway, asking to be felt, demanding to be witnessed, and relentless until we let her move through us.

This is why I created this workbook.

Because the process is messy, lonely, and overwhelming, and I wish I’d had someone to hold my hand the whole way through. This workbook is that hand. A guiding light, a step-by-step process, and a map to help you navigate each step of the way. Gently, safely, and with love.

I hope you find relief in these pages, just as I have, just as I continue to do.

XX,

Rachel

INTRODUCING:
The Grief Workbook

“The Grief Journal has been a great company in helping me heal from my breakup and going through my grief process. This process is very messy but the journal (as well as Rachel’s content) has helped me allow myself to feel all the emotions and give myself grace in a healthy way while also preparing me for healing.”

Grief comes in all shapes and forms.

We grieve…

…Death (of a person or any living thing)
…Loss of an intimate relationships (the person and the container of the relationship)
…Ending of friendships
…Identity loss or part of self
…Losing a future we thought was ours
…The end of a career
…Recovering from a mental illness or a health diagnosis (who am I without the label?)
…Changes in our body (aging, weight change, physical health, body parts, abilities, senses)
…Memories or past events
…Trauma, who we were before the trauma, or what we lose by healing it

…Grief does not discriminate.

Your grief is valid. It’s ok to honor it.
And this workbook will allow you to do just that.
