Grief is complicated enough. This workbook helps you carry it—and everything that comes with it.

A New Path is a 182‑page practical workbook and planner designed to guide grievers through the emotional, logistical, and personal challenges of the first year after loss. Written by Megan Malick—licensed relational therapist, pastor, and educator—this book bridges grief support with the real‑world tasks of settling a loved one’s affairs.

What makes this workbook different

• Monthly and weekly tasks, reflections, and practices tailored to the grieving process
• Education on the grieving brain, so you understand why even simple tasks can feel impossible
• Practical guidance for settling your person’s affairs without as much overwhelm
• Real‑life examples and compassionate language, written by a licensed therapist
• A reliable guide for grievers and the people supporting them

Who this is for

This workbook is for anyone navigating the first year after losing a spouse, parent, sibling, or close loved one—and for those who want to offer something truly useful to a grieving friend or family member. It’s a steady companion in a season when your energy, attention, and capacity are already stretched thin.
