Keeping a Continuing Bond
Grieving does not mean you have to leave a relationship behind. Many people continue to feel connected to someone they have lost through memories, values, stories, traditions, places, objects and the ways that person influenced their life.
This worksheet invites you to explore what continuing connection means personally to you. You might reflect on qualities you carry forward, traditions you want to continue, meaningful objects or places, important dates you would like to honour or stories you want to keep sharing.
There is no particular way that remembrance should look. Your connection may change over time, and what feels comforting now may be different in the future.
The worksheet can help you consider how remembrance and continuing to live your own life can exist alongside one another, rather than feeling that you must choose between holding on and moving forward.
