This is not a workbook for getting over loss. It is a workbook for learning to carry it — slowly, steadily, in your own shape, on your own road.

What's Inside

90 days. Three phases.
One pace — yours.

Each day is a micro-step practice. Skipping a week is allowed.
The intentional work will wait for you.

Phase 1 · Days 1–30

Nurturing the Foundation

Steady your system, and manage energy leaks to prioritize your well-being.

Foundation

Phase 2 · Days 31–60

Tending the Heart and Spirit

Create space for "two truths" — learning to hold enduring sorrow alongside joy.

Heart & Spirit

Phase 3 · Days 61–90

Reclaiming Agency

This is where you step into your power as the author of your following chapters.

Agency

Is this for you?

Honest about who this serves.

This is for you if...

  • âś“ You're past the first year of acute grief and the world has moved forward.
  • âś“ You want a slow, gentle practice — not a five-step program.
  • âś“ You like writing, reflection, and quiet rituals.
  • âś“ You want grounded, research-aware tools without the clinical voice.
  • âś“ You're ready to grow through loss, on your road, at your pace.

This is not for you if...

  • — You are in the first weeks or months after a loss.
  • — You are looking for a way to be "done" with grief.
  • — You want a fast, structured program with deadlines.
  • — You need acute clinical care — please reach out to a therapist instead.

Questions, Gently Answered

FAQ

How long does the workbook take?

Twelve weeks if you follow the pace. Twelve months if you don't. There is no wrong way. The book waits.

I'm only six months out - is this for me?

Probably not yet. The work is built for the long middle — past the first year, when acute grief has softened.

Is this therapy?

No. This is a guided practice for deep reflection and intentional work, grounded in research, but it is not a substitute for therapy. It works beautifully alongside both.

Is there a digital version?

Not at this time. We intentionally designed this as a physical, tactile experience to encourage grounding. It is available exclusively through Amazon.
