10. Worden’s Tasks of Mourning, Made Practical
    William Worden’s Tasks of Mourning reframes grief not as a passive set of stages to endure but as four active tasks: accepting the reality of the loss, processing the pain, adjusting to the changed world, and finding an enduring connection with the deceased. The task model is widely used in clinical grief work, though formal RCT evidence for the framework as a whole is limited — it remains an influential clinical model rather than a rigorously trialled protocol.
