I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye, 2nd Ed.: A Companion Workbook

Based on the bereavement classic I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye, this workbook of healing and hope offers step―by―step support and encouragement through the grief journey.

Called a "support group in your hands" by professionals and mourners alike, I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye Workbook acts as a warm touchstone to navigate the unique emotions and challenges of grief in the wake of a sudden loss. Tapping their personal histories and drawing on numerous interviews, authors Brook Noel and Pamela D. Blair, PhD, explore unexpected death and its role in the cycle of life.

Using a combination of self-exploration questions, visualization activities, and journaling, I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye Workbook guides grieving readers through their anger, guilt, and loss of purpose to an uplifting place of endurance and growth. The updated edition also touches upon new discussions including:

• The unique circumstance of loss
• Men and women's grieving styles
• Religion and faith
• Grief's unanswerable questions.

Combined with the classic I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye, this workbook truly places a support vehicle in the hands of those who are mourning.
