New Workbook Offers Comprehensive Guide to Navigating Traumatic Grief

Dr. Jennifer R. Levin's upcoming publication, 'The Traumatic Loss Workbook: Powerful Skills for Navigating the Grief Caused by a Sudden or Unexpected Death,' set for release on July 1, 2025, by New Harbinger Publications, aims to fill a critical void in grief support. This workbook is specifically designed for those grappling with the aftermath of sudden losses, such as those caused by suicide, violence, medical crises, overdoses, or accidents, which traditional grief support systems often fail to address adequately.

The workbook is structured into 12 chapters, each focusing on different aspects of traumatic grief, from understanding and processing the initial shock to managing long-term triggers and rebuilding a meaningful life. It incorporates a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and emotional regulation techniques. Practical tools like trauma symptom assessments, guided journaling, and grief goal setting are provided to help readers navigate their grief journey, whether they are working through the material alone or with a therapist.

Endorsements from experts in the field, such as Pamela D. Blair, PhD, and Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, highlight the workbook's potential to offer compassion, guidance, and practical support to those in pain. Dr. Levin's extensive experience in thanatology and her work through Traumatic Grief Solutions and Therapy Heals, Inc., underscore her authority and dedication to supporting individuals and organizations through crisis and grief.

The publication of 'The Traumatic Loss Workbook' is timely, as it addresses the growing need for specialized resources in the field of grief and bereavement, particularly for those dealing with sudden or traumatic losses. Its evidence-based approach and the inclusion of practical exercises make it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and navigate the complex emotions and challenges associated with traumatic grief.
