The quiet letting go of Autumn, the reflective stillness of Winter,
the bright rebirth of Spring, and the flourishing warmth of Summer
trace the natural path of grief as it grows and changes to fit the
spaces left behind by those we love. Easy-to-use exercise guides
and activities invite readers to explore the changeable nature of
grief through the ebb and flow of the seasons. As well as
contributions from diverse creative practitioners, poems from Dr.
Robert Neimeyer and reflections from Claudia Coenen create a
starting point to delve into the emotional context of each chapter,
encouraging the reader to view each personal account and case study
through the lens of a different phase of grief. This heart-centred,
compassionate approach infuses bereavement therapy with much-needed
warmth, supporting clinically-proven techniques to guide users
towards practical, healthy ways of processing their loss. Bringing
together voices and art from across the spectrum of creative grief
therapy, Coenen provides an accessible, compassionate guide to
supporting those coping with bereavement throughout their journey.
Understanding loss and its effects is integral to effective
counseling and support in the treatment of grief. This book is both
a guide to the key theories of bereavement, and a practical
workbook that can be used with clients to help them understand and
work through their grief in a positive, transformative way. Divided
into two parts, the first section presents current models of grief
used by thanatologists, and advice on when to apply them, these
models provide a springboard to deepen the conversation with
clients, allowing them to discover insights, consider memories and
express their pain. In the second part of the book, creative
exercises encourage clients to engage with their stories and
actively apply their discoveries to their own healing. Offering a
straightforward guide to bereavement models and therapeutic
approaches, with photocopiable exercises and worksheets, The
Creative Toolkit for Working with Grief and Bereavement is a
valuable resource for information on grief and how to help grieving
clients, and an invitation to explore creative possibilities for
healing.
The Karuna Cards were developed in counseling with bereaved
families and individuals, and are designed to help anyone
struggling with loss, grief or difficult life transitions. Writing
in a journal is an effective therapeutic technique, but many people
find it difficult to know where to begin. The Karuna Cards help by
providing prompts and questions that can be used as starting
points, in addition to suggesting therapeutic activities or ideas
for simple meditations. Readers can respond to each card by doing
the activity, writing in a personal journal or using the card in
conversation with someone they trust. The cards can be used by
individuals at home or with professionals in counseling sessions,
and come with a booklet that provides guidance and recommendations
for how to get the best from each card.
This is a practical guide to help readers work through their grief
via expressive therapies and activities, based on the techniques
Claudia Coenen honed as a professional counselor after the
unexpected loss of her husband. This book provides clear methods to
process grief, experience its pain and learn how to live fully
again. Readers are encouraged to completely engage with their grief
through storytelling, self-care and ritual, and honest reflection.
The book navigates the reader through the healing process while
allowing them the freedom to explore their pain in a way that best
fits their unique situation. Eschewing the idea of a 'quick-fix' to
grief, it suggests ways in which tragedy and loss can be a
springboard for rejuvenation and transformation.
