The Early Days of Grief (Days 1–50)
The opening module meets participants exactly where they are — in the rawness and disorientation of early loss. Before any deeper emotional processing can begin, participants need a foundation of safety, basic self-care, and the reassurance that what they are feeling is normal. Lessons are intentionally gentle and validating, establishing the daily rhythm of the course and introducing the idea that grief is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be lived through with support. This module directly addresses Outcome 1 (recognising grief responses as natural) and lays the groundwork for Outcome 2 (building a coping toolkit).
- 1.1Understanding GriefIncluded
- 1.2Coping With Shock and OverwhelmIncluded
- 1.3Caring for Your Body in GriefIncluded
- 1.4Making Space for EmotionsIncluded
- 1.5Creating Safety and Daily RoutinesIncluded
Living With Loss (Days 51–100)
As the initial shock begins to lift, a different kind of difficulty often arrives: the realisation that the world has moved on while grief has not. This module addresses the sustained, everyday reality of living with loss — the waves of changing emotion, the ache of loneliness, the ambush of unexpected reminders, and the complex dynamics of asking for help. A new lesson on navigating 'firsts' is added here as an essential prerequisite before Anniversaries and Reminders, ensuring participants have explicit tools for their first major milestone encounters before being guided into deeper reflection. This module continues building Outcome 2 (coping toolkit) and introduces Outcome 3 (navigating firsts with steadiness and self-compassion).
- 2.1Understanding Changing EmotionsIncluded
- 2.2Managing LonelinessIncluded
- 2.3Navigating the FirstsIncluded
- 2.4Coping With Anniversaries and RemindersIncluded
- 2.5Asking for and Accepting SupportIncluded
Understanding Your Grief (Days 101–150)
By this stage, participants have survived the initial shock, established some basic coping, and begun to understand the landscape of their grief. Module 3 moves into deeper psychological and emotional territory — the more complex, often socially unspeakable emotions of grief: guilt, regret, anger, and the search for meaning. A new prerequisite lesson on understanding complicated or prolonged grief is added at the start to ensure participants can recognise when their grief may need additional professional support, and to destigmatise that possibility. Self-compassion is carefully positioned as the foundation before meaning-making, so participants approach the harder questions from a place of kindness rather than self-judgement. This module directly delivers Outcomes 1 and 2.
- 3.1When Grief Feels ComplicatedIncluded
- 3.2Exploring Guilt, Regret, and Unanswered QuestionsIncluded
- 3.3Understanding Anger and SadnessIncluded
- 3.4Self-CompassionIncluded
- 3.5Finding Meaning in Your ExperienceIncluded
Honouring Their Life (Days 151–200)
Having established a foundation of emotional understanding, self-compassion, and early meaning-making, participants are now ready to turn outward — toward their relationship with the person they lost. This module focuses on the continuing bond: keeping memory alive in healthy ways, creating rituals that honour rather than freeze, and learning to hold both love and loss at the same time. A lesson on sharing stories and legacy is added to bridge the gap between private memory-keeping and the relational and communal dimensions of grief. This module primarily delivers Outcome 4 (honouring the life of your loved one through meaningful rituals and continuing bonds).
- 4.1Keeping Memories AliveIncluded
- 4.2Creating Meaningful RitualsIncluded
- 4.3Sharing Their Story and Honouring Their LegacyIncluded
- 4.4Continuing Bonds With Your Loved OneIncluded
- 4.5Finding Gratitude Alongside GriefIncluded
Rebuilding Yourself (Days 201–250)
For many participants, this module marks a significant psychological threshold: the gradual, uneven, and sometimes guilt-laden turn back toward life. Identity is often profoundly disrupted by loss — particularly for those who have lost a spouse, a child, or someone central to their sense of self. This module helps participants rediscover who they are now, rebuild the practical and relational structures of their daily life, and begin to allow hope without feeling disloyal to their grief. A new lesson on grief and guilt around 'moving forward' is added as an essential prerequisite — many participants will need explicit permission and validation before they can engage genuinely with the rebuilding work. This module delivers Outcome 5 (rebuilding identity, confidence, and purpose).
- 5.1Grief, Guilt, and the Permission to RebuildIncluded
- 5.2Rediscovering IdentityIncluded
- 5.3Rebuilding ConfidenceIncluded
- 5.4Returning to Work, Family, and RelationshipsIncluded
- 5.5Finding Moments of HopeIncluded
Living Forward (Days 251–300)
This module moves participants from the interior work of rebuilding into a more outward-facing engagement with their continuing life. The focus shifts toward navigating the future — milestones that once felt unthinkable, new experiences that may feel both exciting and guilt-laden, and the development of genuine resilience. A lesson on navigating changed and new relationships is added here, as it addresses the relational complexity of living forward that the original draft identified but did not develop. This module contributes to Outcomes 3 (navigating firsts with steadiness), 5 (rebuilding), and 6 (love and loss coexisting).
- 6.1Navigating Future MilestonesIncluded
- 6.2Navigating Changed and New RelationshipsIncluded
- 6.3Opening to New ExperiencesIncluded
- 6.4Carrying Love Without Being Defined by LossIncluded
- 6.5Building ResilienceIncluded
A Life That Includes Grief (Days 301–365)
The final module brings the year to a compassionate and meaningful close. Rather than a triumphant 'graduation from grief', it honours the truth that grief does not end — it changes. It becomes integrated. It becomes part of the texture of a full life. This module helps participants acknowledge how far they have come, consolidate what they have built, and step into the next chapter with a realistic, hope-filled, and self-compassionate foundation. The course ends not with closure, but with integration — a life that is fully theirs, and that includes their love, their loss, and their continued becoming. This final module delivers the complete realisation of all six outcomes.
- 7.1Accepting That Grief Changes Over TimeIncluded
- 7.2Finding Purpose After LossIncluded
- 7.3Honouring Both the Past and the FutureIncluded
- 7.4Celebrating Growth and Creating a Hopeful Next ChapterIncluded
Who it's for
Is this you?
The recently bereaved
You're in the early fog of loss and need gentle, structured support to get through each day without feeling overwhelmed or alone.
The long-term griever
Your loss wasn't recent, but the grief is still present — and you're ready for a compassionate space that doesn't ask you to explain why it still hurts.
The quiet isolator
You're not ready to talk to anyone, but you know you need something — a private, unhurried companion that meets you in the silence.
The one facing firsts
Birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays are approaching, and you want support that helps you navigate those days with steadiness and self-compassion.
The reluctant rebuilder
You're starting to feel glimmers of 'ordinary life' again, but guilt and uncertainty hold you back — and you need permission to move forward without letting go.
The memory keeper
Honouring the person you've lost and keeping their legacy alive is deeply important to you, and you want meaningful ways to do that as part of your healing.

Leigh Baumann
If you're here, you're probably carrying something heavy. Maybe it happened recently — the world still feels tilted, unreal, and you're not sure how to get through a single day. Or maybe it's been a while, and people around you have slowly moved on, and you're left wondering why it still feels this hard. Wherever you are, I want you to know: you're not doing it wrong. Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is love with nowhere left to go.
I created A Year of Living Again because I know what it's like to search for support and find things that feel either too clinical or too cheerful — frameworks that push you through stages, or advice that quietly implies there's a finish line you should be racing toward. I wanted to build something different. Something that would simply sit beside you, day after day, without ever telling you how to feel or how long it should take.
The 365 lessons in this course are built around the real shape of grief — not a neat progression, but a landscape you move through in your own way. We start in the early days, when shock and overwhelm can make even the simplest tasks feel impossible. We move through the loneliness, the firsts, the complicated tangle of guilt and anger and love. We find ways to honour the person you've lost and keep them meaningfully present. And slowly — at whatever pace is right for you — we open space for the possibility of rebuilding: your confidence, your sense of who you are, your relationship with the future.
There is one thing I want to be clear about: this course will not tell you it's time to move on. The final chapter isn't called "Getting Over It" — it's called A Life That Includes Grief. Because that is the real destination. Not a life where loss has been erased, but a life where love and loss live side by side, and where your story — all of it — belongs to you.
If you're ready for a companion that will meet you exactly where you are, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you for the next 365 days. You don't need to have it together. You don't need to be ready. You just need to take one quiet step today.
