        Typical survivors of early-childhood trauma (Grown Wounded Children - GWCs) never learned grieving basics, so they are at risk of psychological, physical, and relationship problems from incomplete mourning. Common problems may include addictions, obesity, "depression," social isolation, apathy, and chronic anger.

        Adults and kids in dysfunctional biofamilies, divorcing families, and stepfamilies are at special risk of incomplete grief. Most adults - including many human-service professionals - don't know this, what it means, or what to do about it.

        This self-improvement Lesson aims to educate readers on healthy grieving basics so they can (a) build a pro-grief family and (b) spot and complete any unfinished mourning. The alternative is enduring significant health and relationship stresses without knowing how to reduce them. Benefitting from this Lesson requires major progress on Lesson 1 - reducing psychological wounds.
