Lift the weight of grief with prompts and exercises for finding peace

There is no right or wrong way to process grief. That's why this guided journal is designed to help you untangle and understand your emotions at your own pace, in the way that feels right for you. Through gentle but insightful journal prompts and activities, you'll learn new ways to carry memories, lessons, and love as you move forward in your healing journey.

• Grief isn't linear—This journal is loosely structured around the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) but is meant to be used in any order you prefer.
• Proven methods—These thoughtful techniques are based in positive psychology, CBT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based strategies for dealing with grief and loss.
• Hope and inspiration—Along with space to write and reflect, you'll find quotes and positive affirmations to remind you that you're not alone.

Begin the path to healing with a grief journal that shows you the way.

“One of the most challenging aspects of grief is that it is universal, yet unique to each individual. There is not one specific path that helps move everyone toward peace after loss. Navigating Grief: A Guided Journal acknowledges that self-compassion, exploration, and understanding offer healing. All who face loss could benefit from Mia Roldan’s personal and professional experience by utilizing the tools in this book to find their own unique roadmap to recovery, resilience, and growth.” —Erin Spalding, LCSW-S, Program Director for Grief Support Center and Adjunct Assistant Professor for Grief Counseling and Grief and Loss at The University of Texas

“Grief is such a complicated, individual, and at times, isolating experience. This guide allows for a slightly different path through grief with gentle encouragement and time for self-care and reflection. A wonderful resource for anyone whose grief experience is not linear and who needs a different set of tools to navigate their healing journey.” —Maria C. Monge, MD, Assistant Professor, Departments of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine

I was so impressed that I ordered copies for my entire team of social workers!” —Barbara L. Jones, PhD, MSW, FNAP, Associate Dean for Health Affairs and Co-Director of Institute for Collaborative Health Research and Practice
