This is your sixth Grief Self Assessment. There are are only correct answers for your personal experience of grief.

You are becoming more aware of how grief is a part of your life and wellbeing. The Self Assessment is a tool for you check in with yourself to see how you are doing. The score is SIMPLY a REFERENCE POINT. There are a few indicators that will direct you to reach out to a medical professional you will see as you go through the questions.

Many people are looking to “feel better.” Though these questions can help you begin to identify a “doing better,” the Self Assessment tells you how you are integrating grief into your life. At the end of the day, only YOU can answer what that will look like for YOU.

You continue to develop and grow… take some time to explore those things that help with grief. Humans, in general, have a tendency to look at what is not happening or what cannot be done. I like to flip the script on that…

Hope comes from what is possible – great and small things. I encourage you to flip your script. Yes, life is different – we CAN agree on that. It’s time to look at what IS happening for you and what CAN be done. You got this!

Journal or Reflect: Create a “Can Do” list by expanding the list of things that help with grief. This can be little things that CAN be done for 5 or 10 minutes or simple mindful tasks like drinking tea before bed.

***If everyday life continues to be a struggle with grief, it’s time to reach out to a grief counselor to help process and be a support.
