Untangle Your Grief is for you if you’ve been struggling with grief

The creative process in this book may be especially resonant and helpful for you if any of this sounds like you…

• your loss is something other than the death of a loved one (for example, losses in health, financial security, career, or relationships). The Untangle Your Grief creative process is also relevant to other kinds of losses for which there is little information, social validation, and support.

• you’ve experienced multiple losses, perhaps since very early in your life.

• you live with a situation of ongoing losses and new grief each day.

• you live with a high, yet uncertain, threat of a significant loss in the future.

• you’ve experienced traumatic losses or losses that carry stigma or cultural taboos that have made your grief experience more complex.

• you aren’t sure of the specific sources of the deep grief you feel, and suspect that you have unacknowledged losses that you’ve not yet mourned.

• other people’s reactions to your loss and grief have been a substantial source of your pain.

• you live with anxiety and fear of loss that you feel is holding you back in life.

• you feel frustrated or ashamed that you’re still struggling with grief.

• you feel overwhelmed and you don’t know where to start with grieving or making sense of it all.

Suitable for all kinds of loss, Untangle Your Grief will guide you to…

• become aware of hard-to-articulate losses that you’ve felt but not yet mourned.

• identify the most painful aspects of your loss and grief so you feel less overwhelmed.

• find more ways to express your grief through journaling and creativity.

• better understand your own grief reactions and some of the dynamics that can make grief trickier and perhaps more enduring.

• understand how societal ideas and other people’s reactions to your loss and grief can influence your grief experience.

• offer yourself and others more compassion for your different grief reactions.

• develop greater clarity and comfort to be able to share your grief with those you’d like to share with, and draw closer in the relationships that are important to you.

• begin to find new perspectives, make new meanings and see new possibilities for living wholeheartedly after loss.

• grow in your confidence to trust your own creativity and wisdom.

Learn how to use creativity to process grief

It takes creativity to find ways to live wholeheartedly after (and with) loss.

Reflection, journaling, and art-making are effective and enjoyable ways to channel your creativity into creating a beautiful and meaningful life after (and even with) loss.

Untangle Your Grief includes:

• the mindset and practices that work best for using reflection and creativity to make meaning of your loss and grief.

• 3 resilience practices for developing important general skills that will help you to weather any storm and make real change that last.

• stories and photos of artwork created using the Untangle Your Grief process that will help you to see the reflection and creative process in action and inspire your creativity.

Untangle Your Grief is also for you if you’re offering grief support

Untangle Your Grief is a great resource for therapists, grief coaches, grief group facilitators, grief support peer volunteers, clergy, spiritual directors, or anyone else offering grief support.

A flexible process suitable for many kinds of loss

Untangle Your Grief does not teach any specific theory of grief, nor will it tell you what your clients who are experiencing different kinds of losses are experiencing or needing (They can tell you that, and the questions in this workbook will help you to support them to do that).

Instead you’ll find ideas, questions, and art-making prompts organised into a structured process that you can use, in part or in full, to open up conversations that will help your clients who are struggling with grief to find comfort, meaning, connection, and hope.

A program structure for support groups

Arrange for your grief support group members to each purchase their own copy of Untangling Your Grief. Just add your facilitation skills and you’ll have a very rich group experience as you work through the book’s Questions + Art process together.

I recommend at least 6 to 8 sessions. Add more sessions to allow a generous amount of time for making art together and sharing stories.
