Anxious Grief: Strategies for Working with the Missing Stage of Grief

Standard - $169.99 $90.09 Anniversary Sale 2026 - 47% off!

When a client presents with anxiety, does your clinical compass point to grief? 

While we may expect a client to feel sadness, pain, and hurt following a loss, we do not always expect them to feel anxiety—those pervasive feelings of dread, fear, panic, agitation, and uncertainty that often occur alongside unwanted, alarming, and unpredictable physical symptoms. 

From a clinical perspective, the connection between anxiety and grief makes sense. Loss reminds us of our inability to control the future, underscores our human vulnerability, and leaves us in a loop of “what ifs” – three hallmarks of anxiety. Yet, clients and clinicians alike are only just beginning to understand the many ways that anxiety and grief are connected—and now you can too. 

Watch grief expert, clinician, and acclaimed best-selling author Claire Bidwell Smith to learn strategies for working with what is often called the “missing stage” of grief: anxiety. Discover how you can help your clients navigate this often-overlooked facet of loss, process their grief on a deeper level, unpack their fears about mortality, and better bear vulnerability.
