Secondary Losses Inventory
One death, many losses
A single death is many losses. Naming the secondary losses — identity, routine, income, holidays, future — explains why grief feels bigger than one person.
Roles I lost (spouse, child, sibling, best friend, colleague)
Daily routines and rituals that ended
Practical / financial / logistical losses
Future losses — what won't now happen
Community and identity shifts (who I am now without them)
Which of these needs its own grieving?
