Grief and Loss

10/1/2016

 
Grief and loss can be a heavy subject, and sometimes learning strategies and resources for how to cope can be helpful.

A book I have loved reading with clients has been Tear Soup, by Pat Schwiebert and Chuck DeKlyen. This book describes the process of healing and remembering memories after a loss. It is something I think most people can relate to, and can be used with both children and adults. 

A few things I try to remember when working with someone who has suffered a loss:
  • Each person grieves in their own way. They may not follow steps or a timeline, and that's perfectly okay. 
  • There is no time limit.
  • Each person finds comfort in their own way.
  • Education can go a long way in helping someone else deal with a loss, or in dealing with a loss yourself.
  • Loss can come in many shapes and forms. 

Some other resources I like sharing and reading:
