William Worden

William Worden is a psychologist known for his work on grief and loss. He developed the "Tasks of Mourning," a framework that outlines four essential tasks individuals navigate when coping with loss: accepting the reality of the loss, processing the pain of grief, adjusting to a world without the deceased, and finding a way to maintain a connection with the lost person while moving forward. Worden's approach emphasizes that grief is a personal and ongoing process, and it can vary widely from person to person. His insights help in understanding how people cope with bereavement.
