This is your eighth 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 well-being. 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.

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.

Life continues to change when living with grief. Relationship morph and change as we grow in grief as well. This happens for a number of reasons.

Sometimes, it’s because your relationships only included your Loved One. Maybe, some people in your life are not feeling folks and don’t know how or have the capacity to be a support person. Perhaps, it’s because your perspective has changed. These are only few reasons that I hear often. What about you? What do you notice?

How are things with your family and friends? Have your relationships changed? Stronger? New social circle?

Journal or Reflect: Question 8 gives you insight to your responses over time. Take some time to write about that to further explore to develop awareness around your relationships.

***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.
