The Early Days of Grief (Days 1–50)
The opening module meets participants exactly where they are — often in shock, disoriented, and overwhelmed. Before any deeper processing can begin, participants need to feel safe, understood, and not alone. Lessons are intentionally gentle and validating, establishing the daily rhythm of the course while building the foundational understanding of grief that all later modules depend on. This module directly seeds Outcome 1 (understanding your own grief pattern) and Outcome 2 (daily toolkit), laying the groundwork for everything that follows.
- 1.1Understanding GriefIncluded
- 1.2Coping with Shock and OverwhelmIncluded
- 1.3Making Space for EmotionsIncluded
- 1.4Creating Safety and Daily RoutinesIncluded
- 1.5Personalising Your Grief JourneyIncluded
Living With Loss (Days 51–100)
By Day 51, the initial shock has often begun to lift — and for many, this is when grief intensifies rather than eases, as the reality of permanent absence settles in. The world expects people to be 'getting back to normal' precisely when the hardest emotional labour is beginning. This module validates that experience while building practical skills for navigating the emotional landscape of daily life with loss: shifting feelings, profound loneliness, the ambushes of reminders, and the complexity of needing and accepting support. It directly advances Outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- 2.1Understanding Changing EmotionsIncluded
- 2.2Managing LonelinessIncluded
- 2.3Coping with Anniversaries and RemindersIncluded
- 2.4Asking for and Accepting SupportIncluded
Understanding Your Grief (Days 101–150)
With a foundation of basic coping and daily stability in place, participants are now ready to turn inward and engage with the more complex and often avoided emotional terrain of grief. This module addresses guilt, regret, unanswered questions, anger, and sadness not as problems to be solved but as meaningful parts of the grief experience that contain important information. Self-compassion is introduced as the operating principle for all inner work, and the module closes by beginning the search for meaning. This module is the emotional core of the course and directly advances Outcomes 1, 2, and 4.
- 3.1Exploring Guilt, Regret, and Unanswered QuestionsIncluded
- 3.2Understanding Anger and SadnessIncluded
- 3.3Self-CompassionIncluded
- 3.4Finding Meaning in Your ExperienceIncluded
Honouring Their Life (Days 151–200)
Having built emotional stability and begun processing the harder terrain of grief, participants are now ready to turn outward toward the person they lost — not in a way that holds them back, but in a way that keeps the relationship alive in a new form. Research on continuing bonds theory shows that maintaining a meaningful connection to the deceased is healthy and supportive of long-term wellbeing. This module directly delivers Outcome 5 and reinforces the insight from Outcome 6 that healing is about integration, not forgetting.
- 4.1Keeping Memories AliveIncluded
- 4.2Creating Healthy RitualsIncluded
- 4.3Continuing Bonds With Your Loved OneIncluded
- 4.4Finding Gratitude Alongside GriefIncluded
Rebuilding Yourself (Days 201–250)
Loss does not only take a person — it takes the self that existed in relationship to that person. A spouse becomes a widow or widower; a parent who loses a child loses the future they had imagined; a child who loses a parent loses a primary attachment figure. This module addresses the identity disruption that loss causes and guides participants through the gradual, non-linear process of rebuilding a sense of self that is honest about loss and open to what comes next. It directly delivers Outcome 6 and advances Outcomes 1 and 2.
- 5.1Rediscovering IdentityIncluded
- 5.2Rebuilding ConfidenceIncluded
- 5.3Returning to Work, Family, and RelationshipsIncluded
- 5.4Finding Moments of HopeIncluded
Living Forward (Days 251–300)
With identity work underway and hope reappearing, participants are ready to begin looking outward — to the future, to new experiences, to the world beyond grief's immediate gravity. This module is not about moving on or leaving the person behind. It is about moving forward with them integrated into who participants are becoming. Resilience is built not as a final destination but as a dynamic, ongoing capacity. This module advances Outcomes 3, 5, and 6.
- 6.1Navigating Future MilestonesIncluded
- 6.2Opening to New ExperiencesIncluded
- 6.3Carrying Love Without Being Defined by LossIncluded
- 6.4Building ResilienceIncluded
A Life That Includes Grief (Days 301–365)
The final module brings the year's journey to an intentional, meaningful close — while explicitly acknowledging that grief does not end on Day 365. Participants integrate everything they have learned and experienced, celebrate their courage and growth without denying ongoing pain, and make conscious, forward-facing commitments to carrying both the love and the loss as they continue their lives. This module delivers Outcomes 1, 5, and 6 in their fullest form, while honouring the truth that grief is lifelong — but need not be debilitating.
- 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 newly bereaved
Still in the fog of early loss and desperately needing daily structure and a gentle place to land.
The grieving partner
Navigating life after losing a spouse or long-term partner, facing grief and a completely reshaped identity at once.
The adult child
Processing the loss of a parent while still managing work, family, and the expectation to 'hold it together.'
The quiet griever
Feeling isolated and unseen in their grief — perhaps it happened a while ago and the world has moved on, but they haven't.
The complicated griever
Carrying grief tangled up with guilt, anger, regret, or an unresolved relationship — and needing safe space to work through it.
The rebuilder
Past the early crisis but unsure who they are now — ready to begin finding purpose, identity, and hope again.

Leigh Baumann
If you're reading this, you may be in one of the hardest seasons of your life. And I want to begin by saying something plainly: there is nothing wrong with how you are grieving. Grief is not a problem to be solved or a process to be managed efficiently. It is love with nowhere to go — and it deserves time, space, and company.
I created A Year of Living Again because I kept seeing the same thing: people in grief being handed resources that were too short, too clinical, or too quick to push them toward "moving on." A few weeks of content. A checklist of stages. Advice that assumed grief was linear. None of it reflected the truth of what grief actually feels like — the way it ambushes you on ordinary days, the way it changes shape just when you think you understand it, the way the second month can feel harder than the first, and the way an anniversary two years later can knock you flat.
So I built something different. A full year — 365 days — of lessons and reflections designed to walk beside you through all of it. Not to fix you or rush you, but to give you a trusted place to land every day. The curriculum doesn't skip the hard parts: the guilt and the anger and the unanswered questions that keep you awake at night. It doesn't pretend that gratitude and hope arrive on a schedule. But it does believe — because I believe — that meaning, connection, and even joy are still possible, and that the person you've lost would want that for you.
What you'll find inside isn't a programme that tells you how to grieve. It's one that walks with you while you do. You'll build your own toolkit — your own rituals, your own language for what you're feeling, your own understanding of your grief's pattern. And over the course of the year, something quiet and real tends to happen: the grief doesn't disappear, but you grow around it. You find that you can carry love and loss together without being defined by either.
You don't need to be ready. You don't need to know what you're doing. You just need to show up — and I'll be there with you, every single day.
