Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning

Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning describe the active process of grieving. First, you accept the reality of the loss, acknowledging it happened. Second, you work through the pain and sadness instead of avoiding it. Third, you adjust to life without what was lost, redefining your role and routines. Fourth, you find a way to remember and cherish the deceased while continuing to live meaningfully. These tasks help guide individuals through grief, promoting healing and helping them rebuild a fulfilling life after loss.
