The classic four tasks of mourning of Worden are critical to the understanding of the process of grief. It involves the initial shock of acceptance, dealing with the grief, adjusting to it and forming a connection with the deceased that still permits one to form new relationships and live life. It is very similar to Kubler Ross ideals as well.
The four stages of the grief process are key to dealing with loss. Worden’s Four Tasks of grieving capture the whole scope of the process. Please also review AIHCP’s Grief Counseling Certification
Unlike past grief theories which saw grief itself as an issue and pathology that needed removed, Worden’s tasks see grief as an instrumental part of dealing with loss. He sees grief as natural and something that must be dealt with and understood. Ultimately the price of grief is love. When we love, we form bonds. When those bonds are utterly torn apart, we experience loss. The pain associated with loss is grief. It is perfectly natural and hence, the stronger the bond, the stronger the grief.
It is important to deal with our grief. We cannot avoid the tasks of grieving or we will never recover a balance in life. A balance that permits one to acknowledge the loss, grieve it and miss, but also cherish it and live life. If one is grieving, it is essentially to review these tasks and ensure that one is properly dealing with one’s grief and working through it.
“What’s Your Grief” presented an excellent article on the topic. Entitled, “Worden’s Four Tasks of Mourning” by Litsa Williams discusses the four tasks in greater detail. The article states,
“As we mentioned in that post, Kubler-Ross’s Five Stage model really put grief theory on the map by opening up the conversation about the dying process, death, and grief. Over the years other theories have emerged, many of which have transitioned from the concept of “stages” to the concept of “tasks”.
These tasks are best formulated by Worden. The article is quick to point out that this is a fluid process and any strict adherence can allude the subjective nature of grief of the particular individual. To read the entire article, please click here

Grief and loss equal change. The adaptation to change is the hardest thing to deal with when overcoming grief. Time is inherent with change. Hence many people can grieve over the issue of time itself. Time changes and alters things, places, people and status. One can mourn the past and fear the future or mourn their own inherent change and demise. Others realize that time pushes them further and further away from the passing of a loved one. Each new day adds to the initial separation and fear of forgetting.
Hence time can be the ultimate source of grief. The loss is time itself and the change and differences that occur over time. Individuals who are OCD or grieving or fearful of change will have a difficult time adjusting to any change. While grief over change occurs, we must remember that change is not always bad but sometimes is for the best. Good things can occur and if we live in constant fear of change, or grieve over how it used to be, then we may very well be missing the beauty of the present.
Time is change. For many change is the greatest source of grief. Please also review our Grief Counseling Program
One needs to identify the beauty of the day, remember the past and cherish it, but not allow it to dominate present happiness. Loss and change can still be valid sources of grief and those losses must be dealt with but fortunately as time passes, so does the ability to adjust to loss. While we may miss the past or someone from long ago, we can still learn and grow and appreciate the present.
The article, “Mourning the Passage of Time” by Eleanor Haley of “Whats Your Grief” looks at six aspects of time and grief. She states,
“Changes can cause a person to experience losses related to death, distance, estrangement, anticipatory grief, and grief over the transformation of a person who is still present”
Time truly can cause many griefs. Getting older, changing, losing people and places no longer being around, but these losses are part of life. Change is part of life and like grief, we must learn to adjust to change. We are linear creatures and time is a constant. Those who fear time and change, miss the meaning of life. Being able to understand and appreciate the present, cherish the past and face the future are better equipped to deal with the inherent pain of change that comes with it.
