Under New Construction

Your Journey

Under New Construction is designed to help you move one manageable step at a time. You do not have to hold the whole process in your head. This map shows where you are, what comes next, and where you may choose a different route.

You may pause, return, change direction, or take your work with you. The journey is a guide, not a requirement.

  1. When More Is Needed Sometimes grief needs something more.
  2. Under New Construction See how the rebuilding approach works.
  3. Personal Assessment Notice what is happening across your life.
  4. Initial Construction Map Organize what you discovered.
  5. Choosing Where to Begin Choose one concern that deserves attention now.
  6. Blueprint Prepare the work before you begin.
  7. Choose Your Construction Route Decide how you want to continue.

Three equal routes

When Grief Lingers is the Guided Work Lane library within the Under New Construction approach.

Work Lanes may continue into active rebuilding

  1. Active Construction Work on one concern at a time.
  2. Inspect & Reassess Notice what changed and what the work needs now.
  3. Sufficiently Stabilized Move from Active Construction when the structure is strong enough for present conditions.
  4. Maintenance Protect what you have rebuilt.
  5. Fledging Carry the rebuilding skills with you.

You do not have to complete every step. Some paths may never be needed. Skilled Help may enter anywhere along the way.
