Free Grief Booklet for Inmates

Free Grief Booklet: Loss Within the Walls

Loss Within the Walls: Coping with Grief While Incarcerated is a free grief booklet created especially for inmates who are struggling with grief and loss.

“Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.”

— Vicki Harrison

Grief can be especially difficult in a correctional setting where access to support is limited, and emotions can feel heightened.

This free grief booklet aims to guide individuals who are incarcerated through understanding their grief, expressing their feelings, and finding healthy ways to cope in a correctional setting.

Please note that this free grief booklet is meant to be a two-fold booklet. To print two-fold, use the ‘booklet’ setting in Foxit PDF Editor when printing. Otherwise, print to scale (one page per sheet).
