Continuing Bonds Letter

Not letting go — a new kind of relationship

TherapistAssist logo

Continuing bonds theory says healthy grief doesn't require letting go — it requires a new kind of relationship. A letter is one place to build that.

Dear ____ ,
What I want you to know about my life now
What I miss most, said plainly
What I've kept of you — carried, learned, become
What I still don't know how to do without you
How I want to stay in relationship with you going forward
