A complete grief worksheet resource for clinical practice.

Grief work requires more than empathy — it requires structure, evidence, and carefully calibrated tools. This bundle provides all three.

The Grief & Loss Worksheet Bundle contains 20 exercises developed from the strongest evidence base in bereavement care, including CBT for complicated grief (Boelen et al.), the Dual Process Model (Stroebe & Schut), Meaning Reconstruction (Neimeyer), Continuing Bonds theory (Klass et al.), and ACT for bereavement. The worksheets follow a five-phase clinical journey, giving both clinician and client a clear framework for the work.

The Five Phases

Phase 1 — Understanding Grief (4 worksheets) Psychoeducation covering what grief is, common myths, the Dual Process Model of oscillation between loss-oriented and restoration-oriented coping, a personal grief mapping exercise, and a gentle prolonged grief check-in consistent with DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 criteria.

Phase 2 — Processing Emotion (5 worksheets) Somatic grief awareness, the full emotional landscape of bereavement (including guilt, anger, numbness, and relief), CBT thought records for grief-specific cognitive distortions, an avoidance inventory with approach mapping, and distress tolerance using the grief wave model.

Phase 3 — Meaning Making (4 worksheets) Narrative reconstruction of the loss story, legacy and meaning exercises, existential belief mapping for shattered assumptions, and post-traumatic growth exploration grounded in Neimeyer's meaning reconstruction framework.

Phase 4 — Continuing Bonds (4 worksheets) Whole-person relationship mapping, identification of inherited values and traits, healthy continuing connection practices, and the evidence-based unsent letter exercise.

Phase 5 — Rebuilding (3 worksheets) Identity reconstruction after loss, ACT-based values reconnection for re-engagement with life, and a personalised grief maintenance plan including anniversary planning and support mapping.
