Waves That Come Out of Nowhere

Purpose: Make a little room for the grief that arrives without warning.

When to use: Use this after a wave hits, or later the same day when it has passed.

Worksheet prompts

1. Where were you when the last one hit? What brought it on, if anything did?
   A song, a smell, an empty chair, or nothing you can name.
2. What does a wave feel like for you?
3. What helps you get through one?
   Sitting down. Fresh air. Saying their name. Letting it happen.

You do not have to stop a wave. You only have to get to the other side of it.
