How We Grieve

Worksheet Description

This student worksheet, titled “How We Grieve,” serves as an educational resource designed to facilitate discussions about grief and the various ways individuals process loss. The worksheet is segmented into two distinct sections. The upper section provides a brief exposition on the concept of grief, underscoring it as a personal journey that varies widely among individuals. It communicates the poignant truth that grief is not solely triggered by death but can also arise from other forms of loss, such as divorce or unemployment. This narrative gently opens the door to the understanding that while some may find solace in tears or conversations, others might channel their feelings into physical activities or creative expression.

Below the explanatory text, the worksheet presents students with two introspective questions, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences and potential coping mechanisms. The first question asks students to list activities or feelings they associate with expressing grief, while the second question probes how these actions have supported them through their healing journey. This interactive portion, delineated by lined spaces for personal responses, invites students to actively engage with the material and consider the role of various coping strategies in navigating the complex emotions associated with grief.
