A powerful, compassionate guide to finding solace when you've lost someone unexpectedly. The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic, life-altering experience. If you've experienced a sudden loss, your life becomes instantly unrecognizable. In addition to the overwhelming shock, pain, sadness, and grief, you may now feel unsafe in the world, out of control, or unable to carry out basic daily tasks. Most people do not understand what it is like to have a loved one die suddenly or unexpectedly, so it can be challenging to get the support you need. But you are not alone. This gentle workbook can help guide you toward a place of healing and solace.The Traumatic Loss Workbook offers an integrative approach drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotional regulation skills, mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy to support you through the grief process, so you can move forward after the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one. You'll also discover strategies for dealing with sudden "grief attacks," and learn how to navigate common emotional triggers such as holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries. Finally, you'll discover skills to help you cope with the deeply emotional and traumatic aspects of your grief-now and in the future. Death is a natural part of life, but we never expect someone we love to die suddenly or unexpectedly. This workbook will give you the tools you need to process, cope, and move toward healing while making space for your grief, so that you can create a meaningful life within the context of your loss.
